This study looked at mtDNA, Y-chromosomes, and autosomal DNA from the site of Eulau at around 2,600BC in Germany.Three male individuals, a 40-60 year-old male and two young boys (4-5 and 8-9 years old) from grave 99 belonged to Y-haplogroup R1a. The boys were related to their parent:Additionally, the Y chromosome haplogroup R1a of the boys corresponds with the man’s (ind. 3). It is noteworthy that in grave 99 the orientation of the adult individuals ...

Soqotra is an island in the Indian Ocean which belongs to Yemen. What is most interesting -to me- about this paper, is that 71.4% of the Y-chromosomes belong to haplogroup J*(xJ1, J2) which is found at trace frequencies elsewhere. Interestingly, haplogroup J2 is not found in this isolated region, while haplogroup J1 is found at a frequency of 14.3%.The authors write:For the perspective of the Y-chromosome data, a highfrequency of haplogroup J1 in Soqotra is ...

Thomas Jefferson once rewrote the New Testament by taking out all of the supernatural parts.

The American Society for Human Genetics (ASHG) has released a statement outlining a set of recommendations for genetic ancestry testing. At a press briefing on Thursday, members of the ASHG Ancestry Testing Task Force Committee discussed two main themes: the need for clear communication about the limitations of genetic ancestry testing, and the need for researchers and companies doing this type of testing to engage with the social sciences to put results in context.

Sitting in the front row, I'm looking casual, cool and surprisingly female. I appear to be the first to arrive for the conference but am soon joined by a rather glamorous redhead. We sit in silence. Nothing happens except that her legs change colour occasionally - green, purple and back to normal, or what passes for normal in these parts.It's my first time in Second Life and I feel rather awkward. Far from shedding my ...

Anyone who reads through the genetic studies of North and east Africa will notice that admixture between Eurasian and indigenous Africa groups is routinely mentioned, measuring the amount of gene flow between the two groups. Given it’s North African place of origin, , m78 can no, longer be attributed to a sub Saharan ancestor, particularly in light of the fact that it is never seen in African populations without significant Eurasian admixture. North Africa, circa ...

Much has been written about the very-quickly-becoming-mainstream preheader. I first saw mention of it by Lisa Harmon in her MAKE IT POP!: The Preheader Express post. At Bronto, we first blogged about it in February, 2008 - The Underutilized Preheader / Snippet Text. Chad White at The Retail Email Blog has a label dedicated to preheaders and recently posted about the postheader. Additionally, in June 2008, we dedicated an entire episode of BrontoFire to the ...

Brief Communication: Y-Chromosome Haplotypes in Egypt G. Lucotte* and G. Mercier We analyzed Y-chromosome haplotypes in the Nile River Valley in Egypt in 274 unrelated males, using the p49a,f TaqI polymorphism. These individuals were born in three regions along the river: in Alexandria (the Delta and Lower Egypt), in Upper Egypt, and in Lower Nubia. Fifteen different p49a,f TaqI haplotypes are present in Egypt, the three most common being haplotype V (39.4%), haplotype XI (18.9%), ...
