A counter-clockwise northern route of the Y-chromosome haplogroup N from Southeast Asia towards EuropeSiiri Rootsi
Department of Evolutionary Biology, University of Tartu and Estonian Biocentre, Tartu, Estonia
Eur J Hum Genet 15:204-11. 2007..These phylogeographic patterns provide evidence consistent with male-mediated counter-clockwise late Pleistocene-Holocene migratory trajectories toward Northwestern Europe from an ancestral East Asian source of Paleolithic heritage...
Phylogeography of Y-chromosome haplogroup I reveals distinct domains of prehistoric gene flow in europeSiiri Rootsi
Department of Evolutionary Biology, University of Tartu and Estonian Biocentre, Riia, Tartu, Estonia
Am J Hum Genet 75:128-37. 2004..In contrast, I1b2 most likely arose in southern France/Iberia. Similarly to the other subclades, it underwent a postglacial expansion and marked the human colonization of Sardinia approximately 9,000 years ago...- Decreased rate of evolution in Y chromosome STR loci of increased size of the repeat unitMari Järve
Department of Evolutionary Biology, University of Tartu and Estonian Biocentre, Tartu, Estonia
PLoS ONE 4:e7276. 2009..Compared to di-, tri-, and tetranucleotide repeats, STRs with longer repeat units occur more rarely and are far less commonly used... - The western and eastern roots of the Saami--the story of genetic "outliers" told by mitochondrial DNA and Y chromosomesKristiina Tambets
Department of Evolutionary Biology, Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology, University of Tartu and Estonian Biocentre, Tartu, Estonia
Am J Hum Genet 74:661-82. 2004..In particular, no evidence of a significant directional gene flow from extant aboriginal Siberian populations into the haploid gene pools of the Saami was found... - Distinguishing the co-ancestries of haplogroup G Y-chromosomes in the populations of Europe and the CaucasusSiiri Rootsi
Evolutionary Biology Group, Estonian Biocentre, Tartu, Estonia
Eur J Hum Genet 20:1275-82. 2012..No clinal patterns were detected suggesting that the distributions are rather indicative of isolation by distance and demographic complexities... 
The Caucasus as an asymmetric semipermeable barrier to ancient human migrationsBayazit Yunusbayev
Estonian Biocentre, Tartu, Estonia
Mol Biol Evol 29:359-65. 2012..Genetic discontinuity between the North Caucasus and the East European Plain contrasts with continuity through Anatolia and the Balkans, suggesting major routes of ancient gene flows and admixture...- High-resolution phylogenetic analysis of southeastern Europe traces major episodes of paternal gene flow among Slavic populationsMarijana Pericic
Institute for Anthropological Research, Amruseva 8, 10000 Zagreb, Croatia
Mol Biol Evol 22:1964-75. 2005.... - Y chromosome STRs in CroatiansLovorka Barac
Institute for Anthropological Research, Amruseva 8, 10000 Zagreb, Croatia
Forensic Sci Int 138:127-33. 2003..The most frequent Y chromosome haplotype (16-13-13-31-24-11-11-13) was found in 33 individuals (7.22%). One hundred and seventy-four haplotypes (38.07%) were observed in single copies... - Y chromosomal heritage of Croatian population and its island isolatesLovorka Barac
Institute for Anthropological Research, Zagreb, Croatia
Eur J Hum Genet 11:535-42. 2003..Interestingly, the same population also harbored mitochondrial haplogroup F that is virtually absent in European populations--indicating a connection with Central Asian populations, possibly the Avars... - Two sources of the Russian patrilineal heritage in their Eurasian contextOleg Balanovsky
Research Centre for Medical Genetics, Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, 115478 Moscow, Russia
Am J Hum Genet 82:236-50. 2008....
