DNA diversity and population admixture in Anatolia
Giulietta Di Benedetto,Ayşe Ergüven,Michele Stenico,Loredana Castrfi,Giorgio Bertorelle,İnci Togan,Guido Barbujani +6 more
TL;DR: The Turkic language was introduced in Anatolia at the start of this millennium, by nomadic Turkmen groups from Central Asia, and the most reliable estimates suggest roughly 30% Central Asian admixture for both mitochondrial and Y-chromosome loci.
Mitochondrial DNA sequences in prehistoric human remains from the Alps
G. Di Benedetto,Ivan Nasidze,Michele Stenico,Loredana Nigro,Matthias Krings,M. Lanzinger,Linda Vigilant,Mark Stoneking,Svante Pääbo,Guido Barbujani +9 more
TL;DR: Together with the 5200 year old ‘ice man’, these DNA sequences show that European mtDNA diversity was already high at the beginning of the neolithic period, and suggest a lack of continuity between the mesolithic and present-day European gene pools.

High mitochondrial sequence diversity in linguistic isolates of the Alps.
Michele Stenico,Loredana Nigro,Giorgio Bertorelle,Francesc Calafell,M Capitanio,C Corrain,Guido Barbujani +6 more
TL;DR: Analysis of molecular variance shows significant differentiation within samples, among them, and among linguistic groups, and in the evolutionary trees where the four alpine groups are compared with other European populations, Mocheni and especially Ladins appear as clear outliers.

Mitochondrial lineages in Ladin–speaking communities of the eastern Alps
TL;DR: DNA diversity in control region I of the hypervariable D–loop in 43 Ladins, and in 25 Italian speakers confirms a high degree of differentiation among Ladins and their geographical neighbours, and suggests a relationship between Ladin and Near Eastern samples.
•Journal Article
Mitochondrial DNA sequence variation across linguistic and geographic boundaries in Italy.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors obtained hair samples from 45 school pupils from 9 localities in northern Italy and sequenced a 255-bp segment of the mtDNA D loop, showing that most sequence diversity occurs within rather than between populations and that differences between groups of populations, defined either by linguistic or geographic criteria, do not reach significance.
