Revisiting the lineages of the Cohanim using data from next-generation sequencing

2025-12-10

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Early studies using a handful of Y-chromosome markers showed that many self-declared Jewish priests (Cohanim) share related haplotypes, but the limited resolution left open how many priestly lineages exist, when they arose, and how they map onto Jewish population history. <h4>Objectives</h4> We used whole-Y sequencing and modern phylogenetic tools to (i) catalogue Y-chromosome clades that are...
