  • Mitochondrial DNA Variation in Southern Tunisian Populations

    Marco Capocasa, Cinzia Battaggia et al.ARTICLEHuman Biology2024

    Due to its complex history of migrations and colonization of African, European, and Asian people, the Tunisian territory is an ideal area to study the effects of cultural change on the genetic structure of human populations. This study investigated genetic variation in the mitochondrial DNA of Tunisian populations to detect the possible impact of recent historical events on their gene pool. Two Arab and three Berber communities were analyzed usin…

  • Retracted

    Open AccessPaolo Anagnostou, Valentina Dominici et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Physical…2020Citada por: 2Referências: 45

    Our study provides evidence that the relationships between genetic and cultural diversity of old and new inhabitants of North Africa in southern Tunisia follow different patterns. The Berbers seem to have preserved a significant part of their common genomic heritage despite Islamization, Arab cultural influence, and linguistic diversity. Compared to Morocco and Algeria, southern Tunisian Arabs have retained a higher level of Arabian ancestry. Thi…

  • Iron Age Italic population genetics

    Open AccessPatrizia Serventi, Chiara Panicucci et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Human Biology2017

    This study provides a preliminary characterisation of the mtDNA variability of the Piceni of Novilara, as well as a kinship assessment of two peculiar burials

  • Evaluating mtDNA patterns of genetic isolation using a re-sampling procedure

    Open AccessPaolo Anagnostou, Marco Capocasa et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Human Biology2016

    The analysis revealed that the use of population genetic statistics combined with re-sampling procedure can help detect signatures of genetic isolation in human populations, even using a single, although highly informative, locus like mtDNA

  • Determinants of marital behaviour in five Apennine communities of Central Italy inferred by surname analysis, repeated pairs and kinship estimates

  • Reevaluating a Model of Gender-Biased Gene Flow among Sub-Saharan Hunter-Gatherers and Farmers

    Paolo Anagnostou, Cinzia Battaggia et al.ARTICLEHuman Biology2013

    In a previous study, we proposed a model for genetic admixture between African hunter-gatherers and food producers, in which we integrated demographic and genetic aspects together with ethnographic knowledge (Destro-Bisol et al. 2004b). In that study it was possible to test the model only using genetic information from widely dispersed and genetically heterogeneous populations. Here we reevaluate the congruence between the model and patterns of g…

  • Tracing the distribution and evolution of lactase persistence in Southern Europe through the study of the T ‐13910 variant

    Open AccessPaolo Anagnostou, Cinzia Battaggia et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Human Biology2008

    We investigated the occurrence and intra‐allelic variability of the T ‐13910 variant located upstream of the lactase gene in 965 individuals from 20 different locations of Italy and Greece. The T ‐13910 frequency ranges from 0.072 (Sardinia) to 0.237 (North‐East Italy), with a statistically significant difference between North‐East Italians and other Italian populations. The comparison of the lactose tolerance predicted by T ‐13910 and that asses…

  • The effect of a national campaign on attitudes toward Aids

    Michael W Ro, M W Ross et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care1990

    Following a national campaign in Australia which had shown no change in level of knowledge about AIDS (using random samples of the population over 16 years, before and 5 months after the campaign), we assessed the change of attitudes towards, and beliefs about AIDS in the same samples. Results indicated that there were changes in beliefs about how much is known about the transmission of HIV, and that people were less concerned about casual transm…
