A simulated annealing approach to define the genetic structure of populations
We present a new approach for defining groups of populations that are geographically
homogeneous and maximally differentiated from each other. As a by‐product, it also leads to …

Clinal patterns of autosomal genetic diversity within Europe have been interpreted in
previous studies in terms of a Neolithic demic diffusion model for the spread of agriculture; in …

High-resolution analysis of human Y-chromosome variation shows a sharp discontinuity and limited gene flow between northwestern Africa and the Iberian Peninsula
In the present study we have analyzed 44 Y-chromosome biallelic polymorphisms in
population samples from northwestern (NW) Africa and the Iberian Peninsula, which allowed …

Alu insertion polymorphisms in NW Africa and the Iberian Peninsula: evidence for a strong genetic boundary through the Gibraltar Straits
An analysis of 11 Alu insertion polymorphisms (ACE, TPA25, PV92, APO, FXIIIB, D1, A25,
B65, HS2. 43, HS3. 23, and HS4. 65) has been performed in several NW African (Northern …

Estimating the impact of prehistoric admixture on the genome of Europeans
We inferred past admixture processes in the European population from genetic diversity at
eight loci, including autosomal, mitochondrial and Y-linked polymorphisms. Admixture …
