Projecting Ancient Ancestry in Modern-Day Arabians and Iranians: A Key Role of ...
Ferreira, JC; Alshamali, F; Montinaro, F; Cavadas, B; Torroni, A; Pereira, L; Raveane, A; Fernandes, VThe Arabian Peninsula is strategic for investigations centered on the early structuring of modern humans in the wake of the out-of-Africa migration. Despite its poor climatic conditions for the recovery of ancient human DNA evidence, the availability of both genomic data from neighboring ancient specimens and informative statistical tools allow modeling the ancestry of local modern populations. We applied this ...
The mitogenome portrait of Umbria in Central Italy as depicted by contemporary ...
Modi, A; Lancioni, H; Cardinali, I; Capodiferro, MR; Rambaldi Migliore, N; Hussein, A; Strobl, C; Bodner, M; Schnaller, L; Xavier, C; Rizzi, EUmbria is located in Central Italy and took the name from its ancient inhabitants, the Umbri, whose origins are still debated. Here, we investigated the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variation of 545 present-day Umbrians (with 198 entire mitogenomes) and 28 pre-Roman individuals (obtaining 19 ancient mtDNAs) excavated from the necropolis of Plestia. We found a rather homogeneous distribution of western Eurasian lin...

Population structure of modern-day Italians reveals patterns of ancient and arc...
Raveane, A; Aneli, S; Montinaro, F; Athanasiadis, G; Barlera, S; Birolo, G; Boncoraglio, G; Di, Blasio, AM; Di, Gaetano, C; Pagani, L; Parolo, SEuropean populations display low genetic differentiation as the result of long-term blending of their ancient founding ancestries. However, it is unclear how the combination of ancient ancestries related to early foragers, Neolithic farmers, and Bronze Age nomadic pastoralists can explain the distribution of genetic variation across Europe. Populations in natural crossroads like the Italian peninsula are expect...
Genome-wide analysis of Corsican population reveals a close affinity with North...
Tamm, E; Cristofaro, JD; Mazières, S; Pennarun, E; Kushniarevich, A; Raveane, A; Semino, O; Chiaroni, J; Pereira, L; Metspalu, M; Montinaro, FDespite being the fourth largest island in the Mediterranean basin, the genetic variation of Corsica has not been explored as exhaustively as Sardinia, which is situated only 11 km South. However, it is likely that the populations of the two islands shared, at least in part, similar demographic histories. Moreover, the relative small size of the Corsica may have caused genetic isolation, which, in turn, might b...
