Whole Y-chromosome sequences reveal an extremely recent origin of the most common North African paternal lineage E-M183 (M81).

Abstract excerpt

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 individuals, we have identified five new branches within E-M183. The validation of these variants in more than 200 North African samples, from which we also have information of 13 Y-STRs, has...
