Numerous studies of human populations in Europe and Asia have revealed a concordance between their extant genetic structure the prevailing regional pattern geography language. For native South Americans, however, such evidence has been lacking so far. Therefore, we examined relationship Y-chromosomal genotype on one hand, male geographic origin linguistic affiliation other, largest study American natives to date terms sampled individuals populations. A total 1,011 individuals, representing...
ABSTRACT Ancient molecular typing depends on DNA survival in archaeological bones. Finding valuable tools to predict presence ancient samples, which can be measured prior undertaking a genetic study, has become an important issue as consequence of the peculiarities samples. Since is explained by complex interrelations multiple variables, aim present study was analyze morphological, structural, chemical, and biological aspects set medieval human bones, provide accurate reflection state...
Before the arrival of Spaniards in Nicaragua, diverse Native American groups inhabited territory. In colonial times, Nicaraguan populations interacted with Europeans and slaves from Africa. To ascertain extent this genetic admixture provide evidence about origin ancestors, we analyzed mitochondrial control region (HVSI HVSII), 17 Y chromosome STRs, 15 autosomal STRs 165 Mestizo individuals Nicaragua. carry out interpopulation comparisons, HVSI sequences 29 were compiled literature. The...
Currently, two of the most widely used X-chromosome STR (X-STR) multiplexes are composed by ten (GHEP-ISFG decaplex) and 12 markers (Investigator Argus X-12 Kit). The number included is a drawback for complex relative testing cases, likewise large size some amplicons difficult their application to degraded samples. Here, we present new multiplex 17 X-STRs with aim increasing both resolution power forensic applicability. This newly proposed set includes GHEP-ISFG decaplex, four from...
Because of the adverse effects that diagenesis exert on ancient skeletal remains, DNA from these samples is often compromised to point where genetic typing can be challenging. Nevertheless, robust and reliable methods are currently available allow successful genotyping specimens. Here we report nuclear DNA–based strategies used analyze 2 human skeletons a medieval burial. Reliable profiles were obtained teeth, whereas mitochondrial analyses in bones inconclusive. A complete mini short tandem...
A Y‐STR multiplex system has been developed with the purpose of complementing widely used 17 haplotyping (AmpFlSTR Y Filer® PCR Amplification kit) routinely employed in forensic and population genetic studies. This new includes six additional STR loci (DYS576, DYS481, DYS549, DYS533, DYS570, DYS643) to reach 23 PowerPlex® Y23 System. In addition, this kit DYS456 DYS385 for traceability purposes. Male samples from 625 individuals ten worldwide populations were genotyped, including three...
AimTo perform a genetic characterization of 7 skeletons from medieval age found in burial site the Aragonese Pyrenees.MethodsAllele frequencies autosomal short tandem repeats (STR) loci were determined by 3 different STR systems. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and Y-chromosome haplogroups sequencing hypervariable segment 1 mtDNA typing phylogenetic Y chromosome single nucleotide polymorphisms (Y-SNP) markers, respectively. Possible familial relationships also investigated.ResultsComplete or...
La Hoya (Alava, Basque Country) was one of the most important villages Late Bronze and Iron Ages north Iberian Peninsula, until it violently devastated around 4th century abandoned in 3rd B.C. Archaeological evidences suggest that descendants from placed their new settlement a nearby hill, which gave rise to current village Laguardia. In this study, we have traced genetic imprints extinct inhabitants through analysis maternal lineages. particular, analyzed mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control...
