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...
Origin and spread of mitochondrial DNA haplogroup U7
Sahakyan, H; Kashani, BH; Tamang, R; Kushniarevich, A; Francis, A; Costa, MD; Pathak, AK; Khachatryan, Z; Sharma, I; van Oven, M; Parik, JHuman mitochondrial DNA haplogroup U is among the initial maternal founders in Southwest Asia and Europe and one that best indicates matrilineal genetic continuity between late Pleistocene huntergatherer groups and present-day populations of Europe. While most haplogroup U subclades are older than 30 thousand years, the comparatively recent coalescence time of the extant variation of haplogroup U7 (~16–19 thous...

Pala, M; Olivieri, A; Achilli, A; Accetturo, M; Metspalu, E; Reidla, M; Tamm, E; Karmin, M; Reisberg, T; Hooshiar Kashani, B; Perego, UA; Carossa, VHuman populations, along with those of many other species, are thought to have contracted into a number of refuge areas at the height of the last Ice Age. European populations are believed to be, to a large extent, the descendants of the inhabitants of these refugia, and some extant mtDNA lineages can be traced to refugia in Franco-Cantabria (haplogroups H1, H3, V, and U5b1), the Italian Peninsula (U5b3), and t...
