Abstract	Isérables is an alpine village--about 1000 inhabitants--which remained isolated till these recent years because of its particular geographical situation. The Isérables inhabitants call themselves "Bedjuis" (Bedouin in local dialect) and regard themselves as descendants of the Sarrazins who invaded the Alps during the VIII-X centuries. Our goal, in studying several DNA-VNTR polymorphims, in addition to some blood groups, within the Isérables community, was to see if there was any evidence supporting this popular belief. As a preliminary phase of this project, the allelic frequencies for six VNTR loci analysed for 102 individuals of the village (all descendants of nine original families) are presented. The results are compared with those reported for Swiss and white populations.

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 21 March 2015.

All research outputs

#17,537,065

of 25,711,194 outputs

Outputs from EXS

#57

of 96 outputs

Outputs of similar age

#53,832

of 65,888 outputs

Outputs of similar age from EXS

of 3 outputs

Altmetric has tracked 25,711,194 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.

So far Altmetric has tracked 96 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 20.9. This one is in the 34th percentile – i.e., 34% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.

Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 65,888 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 2nd percentile – i.e., 2% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.

We're also able to compare this research output to 3 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
