  • Ancient DNA of Phoenician remains indicates discontinuity in the settlement history of Ibiza
    Zalloua, Pierre A.; Collins, Catherine J.; Gosling, Anna; Biagini, Simone Andrea, 1983-; Costa, Benjamí; Kardailsky, Olga; Nigro, Lorenzo; Khalil, Wissam; Calafell i Majó, Francesc; Matisoo Smith, Elizabeth (Nature Research, 2018)
    Ibiza was permanently settled around the 7th century BCE by founders arriving from west Phoenicia. The founding population grew significantly and reached its height during the 4th century BCE. We obtained nine complete ...
  • Autosomal genetics and Y-chromosome haplogroup L1b-M317 reveal Mount Lebanon Maronites as a persistently non-emigrating population
    Platt, Daniel E.; Artinian, Hovig; Mouzaya, Francis; Khalil, Wissam; Kamar, François G.; Matisoo Smith, Elizabeth; Calafell i Majó, Francesc; Taleb, Nassim Nicolas; Zalloua, Pierre A. (Nature Research, 2021)
    Currently, there are 18 different religious communities living in Lebanon. While evolving primarily within Lebanon, these communities show a level of local isolation as demonstrated previously from their Y-haplogroup ...
  • Genetic evidence for an origin of the Armenians from Bronze Age mixing of multiple populations
    Haber, Marc, 1980-; Mezzavilla, Massimo; Xue, Yali; Comas, David, 1969-; Gasparini, Paolo; Zalloua, Pierre A.; Tyler-Smith, Chris (Nature Publishing Group, 2015)
    The Armenians are a culturally isolated population who historically inhabited a region in the Near East bounded by the Mediterranean and Black seas and the Caucasus, but remain under-represented in genetic studies and have ...
  • Genome-wide and paternal diversity reveal a recent origin of human populations in North Africa
    Fadhlaoui-Zid, Karima; Haber, Marc, 1980-; Martínez Cruz, Begoña; Zalloua, Pierre A.; Elgaaied, Amel Benammar; Comas, David, 1969- (Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2013)
    The geostrategic location of North Africa as a crossroad between three continents and as a stepping-stone outside Africa has evoked anthropological and genetic interest in this region. Numerous studies have described the ...
  • Genome-wide diversity in the levant reveals recent structuring by culture
    Haber, Marc, 1980-; Gauguier, Dominique; Youhanna, Sonia; Patterson, Nick; Moorjani, Priya; Botigué, Laura R.; Platt, Daniel E.; Matisoo Smith, Elizabeth; Soria Hernanz, David F; Wells, R. Spencer; Bertranpetit, Jaume, 1952-; Tyler-Smith, Chris; Comas, David, 1969-; Zalloua, Pierre A. (Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2013)
    The Levant is a region in the Near East with an impressive record of continuous human existence and major cultural developments since the Paleolithic period. Genetic and archeological studies present solid evidence placing ...
  • Genomic ancestry of North Africans supports back-to-Africa migrations
    Henn, Brenna M.; Botigué, Laura R.; Gravel, Simon; Wang, Wei; Brisbin, Abra; Byrnes, Jake K.; Fadhlaoui-Zid, Karima; Zalloua, Pierre A.; Moreno Estrada, Andrés; Bertranpetit, Jaume, 1952-; Bustamante, Carlos D.; Comas, David, 1969- (Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2012)
    North African populations are distinct from sub-Saharan Africans based on cultural, linguistic, and phenotypic attributes; however, the time and the extent of genetic divergence between populations north and south of the ...
  • People from Ibiza: an unexpected isolate in the Western Mediterranean
    Biagini, Simone Andrea, 1983-; Solé Morata, Neus, 1988-; Matisoo Smith, Elizabeth; Zalloua, Pierre A.; Comas, David, 1969-; Calafell i Majó, Francesc (Springer, 2019)
    In this study, we seek to understand and to correlate the genetic patterns observed in the population of the island of Ibiza in the Western Mediterranean basin with past events. Genome-wide genotypes of 189 samples ...
  • Recent historical migrations have shaped the gene pool of arabs and berbers in North Africa
    Arauna, Lara R; Mendoza Revilla, Javier; Mas Sandoval, Àlex, 1989-; Izaabel, Hassan; Bekada, Asmahan; Benhamamouch, Soraya; Fadhlaoui-Zid, Karima; Zalloua, Pierre A.; Hellenthal, Garrett; Comas, David, 1969- (Oxford University Press, 2017)
    North Africa is characterized by its diverse cultural and linguistic groups and its genetic heterogeneity. Genomic data has shown an amalgam of components mixed since pre-Holocean times. Though no differences have been ...
  • Whole Y-chromosome sequences reveal an extremely recent origin of the most common North African paternal lineage E-M183 (M81)
    Solé Morata, Neus, 1988-; García-Fernández, Carla; Urasin, Vadim; Bekada, Asmahan; Fadhlaoui-Zid, Karima; Zalloua, Pierre A.; Comas, David, 1969-; Calafell i Majó, Francesc (Nature Publishing Group, 2017)
    E-M183 (E-M81) is the most frequent paternal lineage in North Africa and thus it must be considered to explore past historical and demographical processes. Here, by using whole Y chromosome sequences from 32 North African ...
  • Whole-genome sequence analysis of a Pan African set of samples reveals archaic gene flow from an extinct basal population of modern humans into sub-Saharan populations
    Lorente-Galdós, Belén, 1981-; Lao Grueso, Oscar, 1976-; Serra Vidal, Gerard, 1989-; Santpere Baró, Gabriel, 1981-; Kuderna, Lukas F.K.; Arauna, Lara R; Fadhlaoui-Zid, Karima; Pimenoff, Ville N.; Soodyall, Himla; Zalloua, Pierre A.; Marquès i Bonet, Tomàs, 1975-; Comas, David, 1969- (BioMed Central, 2019)
    Background: Population demography and gene flow among African groups, as well as the putative archaic introgression of ancient hominins, have been poorly explored at the genome level. Results: Here, we examine 15 African ...
  • Y-Chromosome and mtDNA genetics reveal significant contrasts in affinities of modern Middle Eastern populations with European and African populations
