Micro and macro geographical analysis of Y-chromosome lineages in South Iberia

Highlights • We describe the impact of the Arab and Berber expansion on the Iberian Peninsula. • The Y chromosome variation analysis relies on the study of 27-YSNPs and 17 Y-STRs. • The Moorish influence in Andalusia is not stronger than in other Iberian populations. • North African influence is not...

Summary:Highlights • We describe the impact of the Arab and Berber expansion on the Iberian Peninsula. • The Y chromosome variation analysis relies on the study of 27-YSNPs and 17 Y-STRs. • The Moorish influence in Andalusia is not stronger than in other Iberian populations. • North African influence is not bigger in Iberia than in the rest of Southern Europe. • 80% of samples belonging to J-M304 haplogroup display the DYS458*.2 allelic variant.
