地中海地区的特点是一些史前和历史人口事件，其遗产石油目前的遗传景观仍然是一个有争议的问题。为了调查整个地中海地区的人口结构的程度，我们调查了地中海人口的大型数据集中的Y染色体变异，其中11个在这里首次描述。我们的分析确定了地中海的四个主要集群，可以称为北非，阿拉伯，中东和西地中海。特别是近东样本倾向于根据阿拉伯Y染色体谱系的存在而分离，这表明阿拉伯扩张在塑造新月沃土内当前的遗传结构方面发挥了重要作用。
The Mediterranean region has been characterised by a number of pre-historical and historical demographic events whose legacy oil the current genetic landscape is still a matter of debate. In order to investigate the degree of population structure across the Mediterranean, we have investigated Y chromosome variation in I large dataset of Mediterranean populations, 11 of which are first described here. Our analyses identify four main clusters In the Mediterranean that can be labelled as North Africa, Arab, Central-East and West Mediterranean. Ill particular, Near Eastern samples tend to separate according to the presence of Arab Y chromosome lineages, suggesting that the Arab expansion played a major role in shaping the current genetic structuring within the Fertile Crescent.
