Y-chromosome variation in Portugal: relationships with historical or demographic events (Duration: 2018–2025)

Duration: 2018 – 2025

Abstract: This project aims to identify specific paternal lineages that could have historical or demographic significance in the Portuguese territory. In Portugal the sub-lineages of some common Y-chromosome haplogroups remain to be identified, including for the most frequent Y-chromosome haplogroup, R1b-M269. The dissection of sub-lineages within these haplogroups, allowing to identify possible unknown branches, has special interest for the historical or demographic movements in the territory and could be also useful in forensic genetics.
