Evidence of Austronesian genetic lineages in East Africa and South Arabia: comp...
Brucato, Nicolas; Fernandes, Veronica; Kusuma, Pradiptajati; Černý, Viktor; Mulligan, Connie J.; Soares, Pedro; Rito, Teresa S; Besse, CélineThe Austronesian dispersal across the Indonesian Ocean to Madagascar and the Comoros has been well documented, but in an unexplained anomaly, few to no traces have been found of the Austronesian expansion in East Africa or the Arabian Peninsula. To revisit this peculiarity, we surveyed the Western Indian Ocean rim populations to identify potential Austronesian genetic ancestry. We generated full mitochondrial D...
Toward male individualization with rapidly mutating y‐chromosomal short tandem ...
Ballantyne, Kaye N.; Ralf, Arwin; Aboukhalid, Rachid; Achakzai, Niaz M.; Anjos, Maria J.; Ayub, Qasim; Balažic, Jože; Ballantyne, JackRelevant for various areas of human genetics, Y-chromosomal short tandem repeats (Y-STRs) are com monly used for testing close paternal relationships among individuals and populations, and for male lineage iden tification. However, even the widely used 17-loci Yfiler set cannot resolve individuals and populations completely. Here, 52 centers generated quality-controlled data of 13 rapidly mutating (RM) Y-STRs i...
