Anyone know where is from the sample called "Italian"?is it a mixed Italians of various regions?I haven't find nothing about it.
I have no idea. It's neither the average nor the median of the Italian regions. It looks southern but I thought there were only three southern samples: West Sicily, East Sicily and Calabria.
Wait...was there one from Bari? Someone should ask him.
Btw, I ran my gedmatch for this again. When your results come up there's an icon for spreadsheet, and the numbers are a little different from the ones from the link above. Also, just for full comparison that one has results for Italy North, which is western Emilia, which the spreadsheet from the link above doesn't have.
I listed all the results from north to south, and if you go component by component it's actually quite good and confirms what we know. I was particularly pleased to see that my gut instinct about the similarity between Piemonte and western Emilia was borne out by the numbers.
It's quite good for me personally as well. All of my scores come out between Piemonte/Emilia on the one hand and Firenze on the other, leaning slightly to the northern two provinces, which is why my highest score is with Italy-North. That exactly matches my genealogy. It just goes to show that an admixture calculator can capture us pretty well if done correctly and if there are reference samples from different areas. It would be nice to have one from Campania, of course, and Apulia if the "Italian" sample doesn't cover it, and the central Veneto. Umbria too to see how much it might differ from Toscana. Lazio is hopeless. How many unmixed people are there?
One other thing...I've never paid too much attention to Greek genetics, but I happened to glance at them as I scrolled toward the Italian scores. I'm assuming "Greek" is the standard sample, which is from Thessaly, but what do the following mean: Coriell, WGA, Comas?
