Population structure in Italy using ancient and modern samples

y4OKNmZ.png


SR and TP are Siracusa and Trapani?
 
… yes Jovialis, Trapani and Siracusa.
 
Salento and Jovialis: Here are my distances for the new samples (I included all 35). I get close distances from samples all over Sicily and from Abruzzo as well. What is also interesting is that I get really close with W-Sicily7 and 4 from Behar 2013 but W-Sicily 5b is more distant at 6.57 (not horrible). Kind of indicates that in the past, some of the samples selected to be included in population averages for moderns can be skewed if they are solely selected from 1 side of the distribution, i.e. a Bell shaped curve with population mean that is statistically valid (random sample or N large enough for central limit theorem to hold).

Jovialis, regarding your K8 model, I just quickly ran the new Sicilian samples and the goodness of fit average is 0.86, which is really good. It is quite apparent to me that your K8 model approximates what Raveane et al 2019 reported in "Population structure of modern-day Italians reveals patterns of ancient and archaic ancestries in Southern Europe" Figure 2 quite well. I noticed over at Gene expressions some yahoo was taking issue with your model and that poster threw in a few lets say interesting attempts at humor. Keep up the excellent work.

A lot of Abruzzo is clearly more northern than the rest of the South. It makes sense. Also interesting how similar northern Puglia is to it.

What incredible variation we have in Italy. In other parts of the world they kill each other when they're genetically like 2nd cousins.

Political boundaries in Italy don't match the genetic boundaries.
 
More in the ballpark, but still not great. Perhaps because there's no Emilian or Eastern Ligurian samples? Still don't understand the Corsica matches. Some French ancestry in some of those samples? I'm very far west on PCAs. Or perhaps because some of the Corsicans are from the coast and have ancestry from Liguria and northern Toscana? Like Napoleone, whose oldest family seat is across the Magra from where my mother was born?


Is there a way I can examine these samples more closely? Are they on any of the PCAs by number?

Well, I now officially claim all the greats of Florence from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance and beyond as my ancestors! :)

My bucket list had more of the Greek islands on it (and mainland), Istanbul and the ancient cities of Asia Minor, Israel, and now I guess I have to go to Corsica. :) Of course I'm going back once or twice a year again to Liguria and the Lunigiana (N.W. Toscana), as, even after all these years, that's home.

Btw, are these Piemonte samples the ones from the border area between Piemonte and Liguria? Would make perfect sense as they're really Ligurian.
 
Well, those people hiding out in the foothills of the Apennines and the Apennines themselves have kept a lot of their Copper Age EEF ancestry. It shows up for me in other analyses as well.

For those who've been following the discussion about how much Germanic ancestry there might be in people like the N.W. Tuscans, I guess it's about 10%. :)

Of course I don't mind. Sorry it's hard to read: 10.29 (Abruzzi) to 16.9 (West Sicily).

I have some better West Sicily samples, though: 12-13 and:

11.98841107TP08_Busby_2015
12.71835681TP06_Busby_2015

That's 11.9 and 12.7.

There's a lot more variety in these Southern Italian samples than I expected.

Thanks Angela. Just a friendly suggestion, did you adjust your gradient when you ran the Oracle program. I just set mine to 100 to clear up the resolution. It works on my computer like a charm.

Yes, there is some variety in those Samples. In my post 958, I am closer to some Abruzzo samples than some of the ones from Sicily and closer to some areas of Sicily for which none of my Great-Grandparents (1 Grandfather) were from (3rd closest is Syracuse SR64).

Ok, these "academic samples" from Kosovo are not as weird as the Albanian ones.

Kosovo7 is literally my sibling it's scary, whereas Kosovo14 looks like Albanians from Montenegro.

And as always, the Montenegro samples are super cherry picked. They left at least 30-40% of the population of Montenegro out and some are clearly from Serbia or Bosnia but of Montenegrin heritage.
 
Thanks Angela. Just a friendly suggestion, did you adjust your gradient when you ran the Oracle program. I just set mine to 100 to clear up the resolution. It works on my computer like a charm.

Yes, there is some variety in those Samples. In my post 958, I am closer to some Abruzzo samples than some of the ones from Sicily and closer to some areas of Sicily for which none of my Great-Grandparents (1 Grandfather) were from (3rd closest is Syracuse SR64).

As far as I recall behar samples were gathered in London and by individuals who self-reported their ethnicity (and this explains the high number of Romanian individuals with high south asian admixture), and the Busby samples are recycled from Hellenthal et al 2015 who gathered for south Italy and Sicily new samples from anonymous donours (https://www.science.org/action/downloadSupplement?doi=10.1126/science.1243518&file=hellenthal.sm.pdf), and for the same reservations expressed for some Tuscan samples I do not think all these samples represent the genuine genetic variation present in Sicilians and south Italians, and it also explains why the samples from Italian authors gathered in situ form much tighter clusters (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-017-01802-4 , https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-82591-9 for example).

Leopoldo: Thanks for the note. Here is what I don't quite understand. I have been able to go back to Sicily and get birth, marriage and death certificates dating back to the early 1800's both Paternal and Maternal lineages. It seems to me that Italian researchers when taking a DNA sample from someone in Sicily, Puglia, Campania, Tuscany, or wherever in modern Italy can ask the Donor to provide his or her birth record, which has the parents with their family names, and then get the parents wedding civil record, which has both their parents and document that the person donating sample has family history dating back to to the 1800's which would provide a higher confidence that the donor represents a population that has long-term ties to the area (and not do to some recent migrant moving into the region with no historic ties to the region).

However, the variation in these samples from Sicily might in reality not be outside the normal distribution and could all be relative to the mean within 2 SD's of it and not in the 5% tails, 2.5 left or 2.5% right. So while there is some variation, I don't want to suggest that some of these samples are outliers and thus not within, statistically, the genetic variation one would expect to find if you plotted them and looked at the data in the context of a Bell Shaped curve (which is kind of how I visualize the data sometimes to wrap my head around it).

Thanks again Leopoldo, PT

As I know they don't ask for birth or baptismal certificates. At least not always. Many times ancestry is simply self reported. And it is not always the researchers/geneticists directly who collect the samples, and samples are collected following very different procedures from time to time.
