Tyrolean DNA admixture and genetic structure

Interesting information for genetic genealogy and populations genetics of human DNA from the historical Tyrol region (South Tyrol, North Tyrol, East Tyrol, Trentino) and bordering regions (Austria, North Italy/Padania, Switzerland, South Germany, Slovenia, Croatia, Alpine France).
