“…Preliminary results provided us with intriguing inferences regarding the prehistory and history of Italy. © 2005 Elsevier B.V. …”

Demographic histories, isolation and social factors as determinants of the genetic structure of Alpine linguistic groups by Coia, V, Capocasa, M, Anagnostou, P, Pascali, V, Scarnicci, F, Boschi, I, Battaggia, C, Crivellaro, F, Ferri, G, Alù, M, Brisighelli, F, Busby, G, Capelli, C, Maixner, F, Cipollini, G, Viazzo, P, Zink, A, Destro Bisol, G

“…Great European mountain ranges have acted as barriers to gene flow for resident populations since prehistory and have offered a place for the settlement of small, and sometimes culturally diverse, communities. …”

The role of recent admixture in forming the contemporary West Eurasian genomic landscape by Busby, G, Hellenthal, G, Montinaro, F, Tofanelli, S, Bulayeva, K, Rudan, I, Zemunik, T, Hayward, C, Toncheva, D, Karachanak-Yankova, S, Nesheva, D, Anagnostou, P, Cali, F, Brisighelli, F, Romano, V, Lefranc, G, Buresi, C, BenChibani, J, Haj-Khelil, A, Denden, S, Ploski, R, Krajewski, P, Hervig, T, Moen, T, Herrera, R, Wilson, J, Myers, S, Capelli, C

“…While these efforts are bringing the details of West Eurasian prehistory into increasing focus, studies aimed at understanding the processes behind the generation of the current West Eurasian genetic landscape have been limited by the number of populations sampled or have been either too regional or global in their outlook [8-11]. …”
