Digital natives
Background: Today's adolescents are immersed in a digital environment, with social networks central to their lives for entertainment, communication and getting information. Being online enables adolescents to share their daily experiences, opinions, emotions, attitudes and express their identity. Still, the displacement hypothesis suggests that time spent on media reduces the time available for other, offline activities (e.g., physical activity),…
The role of the Vlax Roma in shaping the European Romani maternal genetic history
The Roma are comprised of many founder groups of common Indian origins but different socio‐cultural characteristics. The Vlax Roma are one of the founder Roma populations characterized by a period of bondage in the historic Romanian principalities, and by the archaic Romanian language. Demographic history suggests different migration routes of Roma populations, especially after their arrival in Mesopotamia and the eastern boundary of the Byzantin…
Dissecting the molecular architecture and origin of Bayash Romani patrilineages
The Bayash are a branch of Romanian speaking Roma living dispersedly in Central, Eastern, and Southeastern Europe. To better understand the molecular architecture and origin of the Croatian Bayash paternal gene pool, 151 Bayash Y chromosomes were analyzed for 16 SNPs and 17 STRs and compared with European Romani and non‐Romani majority populations from Europe, Turkey, and South Asia. Two main layers of Bayash paternal gene pool were identified: a…
Effects of Isolation and Inbreeding on Human Quantitative Traits
Isolation is a known force in evolutionary biology and one of the main factors in speciation. One of the main consequences of severe isolation is reduced mate choice, which results in the occurrence of inbreeding as a result of isolation. We investigated the effects of individual genome-wide heterozygosity measured as the multilocus heterozygosity (MLH) on biochemical markers of hemostasis and inflammation in 1,041 individuals from the island of …
An mtDNA perspective of French genetic variation
The mtDNA haplogroup composition of the French does not differ significantly from the surrounding European genetic landscape. At a finer grain, microgeographical differentiation can be revealed, as shown for the French Basque country and for Brittany
The role of Southeastern Europe (SEE) in origins and diffusion of major paternal lineages
The aim of this study is to explore the existing data based on high-resolution phylogenetic studies of Y chromosome variation in populations from Southeastern Europe and elsewhere in Eurasia in order to evaluate the role of the region in the process of the prehistoric colonization of the European continent and the structuring of the modern paternal genetic pool. Even though the distribution and estimated range expansions of major paternal lineage…
Genetic Variation at Nine Short Tandem Repeat Loci Among Islanders of the Eastern Adriatic Coast of Croatia
We have analyzed the extent of genetic variation at nine autosomal short tandem repeat loci (D3S1358, VWA, FGA, TH01, TPOX, CSF1PO, D5S818, D13S317, D7S820) among six populations from Croatia: five distributed in the islands of the eastern Adriatic coast and one from the mainland. The purpose is to investigate the usefulness of these loci in detecting regional genetic differentiation in the studied populations. Significant heterogeneity among the…
