The western and eastern roots of the Saami: the story of genetic "outliers" told by mitochondrial DNA and Y chromosomes

The Saami are regarded as extreme genetic outliers among European populations. In this study, a high-resolution phylogenetic analysis of Saami genetic heritage was undertaken in a comprehensive context, through use of maternally inherited mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and paternally inherited Y-chromoso...
