In human populations, changes in genetic variation are driven not only by genetic
processes, but can also arise from cultural or social changes. An abrupt population …

Both genetic variation and certain culturally transmitted phenotypes show geographic
signatures of human demographic history. As a result of the human cultural predisposition to …

We have analyzed Y-chromosomal variation in populations from Transoxiana, a historical
region covering the southwestern part of Central Asia. We studied 780 samples from 10 …

Human populations often exhibit contrasting patterns of genetic diversity in the mtDNA and
the nonrecombining portion of the Y-chromosome (NRY), which reflect sex-specific cultural …

Objectives Sex‐specific genetic structures have been previously documented worldwide in
humans, even though causal factors have not always clearly been identified. In this study …

The ampliconic region of the human Y chromosome consists of large duplicated sequences
that can undergo non-allelic homologous recombination (NAHR), resulting in structural …
