The Population Genetics of Iranian Sayyed: Self-identified Descendants of the Prophet Mohammad Through the Y-chromosome Lineage

2026-07-09

Abstract excerpt

Population genetics and genealogical studies have shown that a well-mixed, closed, diploid population has a common genealogical ancestor in either the recent or distant past. By considering the number of generations back to the most recent common ancestor (MRCA) of a particular population or ethnic group, we can estimate the expected genetic diversity in that population using appropriate DNA markers. Also, using s...
