The genetic legacy of the Yaghnobis: A witness of an ancient Eurasian ancestry in the historically reshuffled central Asian gene pool.
Elisabetta Cilli,Stefania Sarno,Guido Alberto Gnecchi Ruscone,Patrizia Serventi,Sara De Fanti,Paolo Delaini,Paolo Ognibene,Gian Pietro Basello,Gloria Ravegnini,Sabrina Angelini,Gianmarco Ferri,Davide Gentilini,Anna Maria Di Blasio,Susi Pelotti,Davide Pettener,Marco Sazzini,Antonio Clemente Domenico Panaino,Donata Luiselli,Giorgio Gruppioni +18 more
TL;DR: The Yaghnobis seem to retain a peculiar genomic ancestry probably ascribable to an ancient gene pool originally wide spread across a vast area and subsequently reshuffled by distinct demographic events occurred in Middle East and Central Asia.
Fine Dissection of Human Mitochondrial DNA Haplogroup HV Lineages Reveals Paleolithic Signatures from European Glacial Refugia
Sara De Fanti,Chiara Barbieri,Stefania Sarno,Federica Sevini,Dario Vianello,Erika Tamm,Erika Tamm,Ene Metspalu,Ene Metspalu,Mannis van Oven,Mannis van Oven,Alexander Hübner,Marco Sazzini,Claudio Franceschi,Davide Pettener,Donata Luiselli +15 more
TL;DR: It is observed that Italy harbors a reservoir of mtDNA diversity, with deep-rooting HV lineages often related to sequences present in the Caucasus and the Middle East, and the resulting hypothesis of a glacial refugium in Southern Italy has implications for the understanding of late Paleolithic population movements.
Hematological and pulmonary responses to high altitude in Quechuas: a multivariate approach.
TL;DR: Principal components analysis and canonical correlation analysis suggest that in this native Andean population: 1) aging decreases lung function but does not affect hematological features, and 2) there is a negative age-independent correlation between lung function (FVC, FEV1, PEF) and hematology traits (Hb, RBC, Htc).
Inferring patterns of folktale diffusion using genomic data
Eugenio Bortolini,Eugenio Bortolini,Eugenio Bortolini,Luca Pagani,Luca Pagani,Enrico R. Crema,Stefania Sarno,Chiara Barbieri,Alessio Boattini,Marco Sazzini,Sara Silva,Gessica Martini,Mait Metspalu,Davide Pettener,Donata Luiselli,Jamshid J. Tehrani +15 more
TL;DR: State-of-the-art genomic evidence is used to directly assess the relevance of demic diffusion processes, in particular on the distribution of Old World folktales at intermediate geographic scales, and identify individual stories that are more likely to be transmitted through population movement and replacement.
Impact of demography and population dynamics on the genetic architecture of human longevity.

TL;DR: It is proposed that demographic history and ancient/recent population dynamics need to be properly considered to identify genes involved in longevity, which can differ in different temporal/spatial settings.
