Ashkenazi have definitely got a very large [most of their DNA] from the Bedouin bucket of genes. So do Palestinians who have even more Bedouin juice. But Palestinians are very short on the orange stuff, which comes most prolifically from the Utar Pradesh zone, which a good Ashkenazi brew requires.
Note the hefty helping of North African/Moroccan in the Ashkenazi too.
Note how little of the Pommy Cornish DNA they have. Just a dessert.
The bit of blue is also Utar Pradesh sourced, though the Georgians in the Caucasus max out on it.
Designer babies are going to be a LOT of fun. Those nasty genetic diseases can be ditched. Everyone can be brainy.
There doesn't seem to be much Italian to me, even if the Romans did take some there. Maybe it was uncool to breed with Jews in Rome, or Jews didn't like Romans. Or the feeling was mutual.
With the DNA research going on, we'll all be able to see just how our personal genetic jigsaw was put together. I had a grandmother from Cornimont in Eastern France, and you should have seen her nose, and my cousin's [mine is not exactly trivial]. Recently I found [through a daughter having a blood test] that I've got some sickle cell tendency [Thalassaemia]

I suspect I have a bit of Ashkenazi and certainly something from south.
<People who are likely to carry the gene of Thalassaemia are people with Mediterranean descent, for example Cyprus, Egypt, Greece, India, Italy, Lebanon, Malta, Middle East, Turkey and some parts of South East Asia. >
Her mother brought her out here after the Prussian invasion of 1870 computasaur.tripod.com after escaping from Cornimont to Paris, surviving the siege and the voyage. The Germans have been quite a lot of trouble! 1870, then 1915, 1940 [each of my ancestors for a few generations had to deal with them]. Let's hope they call it a day. I have my fingers crossed.
