[QUOTE]Originally posted by xyyman: [QB] I know I said I was going to ignore the personalities but…I couldn’t resist. Are these these the same guys that wrote that article? They are desperately try to obtain data in support of their delusion that THEY are the original Greeks. Ho! Ho! ===================== From: 30. Hughey, J. R., Du, M., Li, Q., Michalodimitrakis, M. & Stamatoyannopoulos, G. A search for b thalassemia mutations in 4000 year old ancient DNAs of Minoan Cretans. Blood Cell Mol. Dis. 48, 7–10 (2012) Ancient DNA methodologies can be applied in the investigation of the genetics of extinct populations. A search for beta thalassemia mutations was performed on 49 Minoan individuals from the Bronze Age who were living in the island of Crete approximately 4,000 Years Before Present (YBP). Standard precautionary measures were employed in the laboratory to ensure authenticity of the DNA extracted from the ancient bones, resulting in the successful analysis of DNA of 24 Minoans. DNA sequencing focused on the Intervening Sequence 1 (IVS-1) of the beta globin gene and its splicing junctions. 63% of the thalassemia mutations observed among modern Cretans reside in beta IVS -1. [b]None of the Minoan individuals carried one of the IVS-1 mutations known to cause beta thalassemia;[/b] however, only one was expected to be observed if the average frequency of beta thalassemia heterozygotes in the Minoan population was the same with that of modern day Cretans (7.6 %). One individual contained a C to G substitution in position 91 of the IVS-1, located 40 bp 5′ to the intron 1/exon 2 junction. Functional studies indicated that the mutation did not affect mRNA splicing or stability, and most likely represented an innocent single nucleotide polymorphism. ======================== I was researching to b thalassemia mutations to corroborate North African ancestry of Crete, but this crew is already on it. And the result is……no!!!. Extant populations of Crete do not share the same mutation of b thalassemia mutations compared to populations 4000ya. Not a surprise. Ha! Ha! This crew failed through b thalassemia, now they tried through haplotypes and failed there also. What is next? Now the question is …is it the Sudanese type?. We may never know………. [/QB][/QUOTE]
