Ancient and recent Middle Eastern maternal genetic contribution to North Africa as viewed by mtDNA diversity in Tunisian Arab populations
OBJECTIVES: Through previous mitochondrial DNA studies, the Middle Eastern maternal genetic contribution to Tunisian populations appears limited. In fact, most of the studied communities were cosmopolitan, or of Berber or Andalusian origin. To provide genetic evidence for the actual contribution of Middle Eastern mtDNA lineages to Tunisia, we focused on two Arab speaking populations from Kairouan and Wesletia known to belong to an Arab genealogic…
The Orientalisation of North Africa: New hints from the study of autosomal STRs in an Arab population
This study represents an additional step to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the complex demographic history of North African populations
Genetic variation in Tunisia in the context of human diversity worldwide
OBJECTIVES: North Africa has a complex demographic history of migrations from within Africa, Europe, and the Middle East. However, population genetic studies, especially for autosomal genetic markers, are few relative to other world regions. We examined autosomal markers for eight Tunisian and Libyan populations in order to place them in a global context. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Data were collected by TaqMan on 399 autosomal single nucleotide poly…
Allele frequencies for 15 autosomal STR markers in the Libyan population
The high informativity observed for these 15 STRs in a Libyan population demonstrates their usefulness for forensic and parental purposes
Genetic structure of Tunisian ethnic groups revealed by paternal lineages
Tunisia has experienced a variety of human migrations that have modeled the myriad cultural groups inhabiting the area. Both Arabic and Berber‐speaking populations live in Tunisia. Berbers are commonly considered as in situ descendants of peoples who settled roughly in Palaeolithic times, and posterior demographic events such as the arrival of the Neolithic, the Arab migrations, and the expulsion of the “Moors” from Spain, had a strong cultural i…
Substructure of a Tunisian Berber Population as Inferred from 15 Autosomal Short Tandem Repeat Loci
Currently, language and cultural practices are the only criteria to distinguish between Berber autochthonous Tunisian populations. To evaluate these populations' possible genetic structure and differentiation, we have analyzed 15 autosomal short tandem repeat loci (CSF1PO, D3S1358, D5S818, D7S820, D8S1179, D13S317, D16S539, D18S51, D21S11, FGA, TH01, TPOX, VWA, D2S1338, and D19S433) in three southern Tunisian Berber groups: Sened, Matmata, and Ch…
Islands Inside an Island: Reproductive Isolates on Jerba Island
Jerba Island, located in South Eastern Tunisia, is inhabited by four ethnic groups: Berbers, Arabs, sub‐Saharans, and Jews. All live in distinct areas, although the Arabs are also distributed all over the island. The first Arab settlement was founded in the 7th century A.D., so co‐existence with Berbers has lasted for more than a millennium. Religious and cultural differences have represented an obstacle to the intermixing of these groups, and am…
A Y-chromosome portrait of the population of Jerba (Tunisia) to elucidate its complex demographic history
L’histoire démographique de l’île de Jerba est très ancienne en raison de sa position centrale dans le bassin de la mer Méditerranée, c’est la raison pour laquelle plusieurs populations se sont succédées sur l’île dont la population est, de nos jours, hétérogène (Arabes, Berbères, Noirs, Juifs). Afin d’étudier la variabilité du chromosome Y de la population de Jerba nous avons analysé 10 polymorphismes, SRY-2627 ; SRY-10831a ; SRY-4064 ; 92R7 ; T…
