PC3 (0.56%) differentiates West-African populations (Fulani and Yoruba) from Sub-Saharan East African populations (Maasai) (Fig. 2b). Both PC analysis using data sets with different number of SNPs preserve the topology of the populations. As expected, with a low number of SNPs we observe ...
The presence of African mtDNAs among the Makrani seems to be of recent origin, since the Makrani haplotypes are identical to those observed in modern sub-Saharan African populations (Salas et al. 2002), particularly in Bantu-speaking populations from Mozambique. Indeed, all but one of the ...
Copping a Latitude: Genetics Supports Idea Cultural Interaction Was More East to West Than North to SouthCharles Q. Choi
Our results indicate that the main contributors to the Malgache gene pool are the East African groups (46.5%), although a clear input from the West African populations (18.7%) can also be discerned. This is expected considering the geographic vicinity of insular Madagascar to continental East ...
The evolutionary origin and historical demography of extant Arcto-Tertiary forest species in East Asia is still poorly understood. Here, we reconstructed the evolutionary and population demographic history of the two extant Euptelea species in China (E.

This is lower than the average CAG-tract size of 17.8 repeats in Europeans and consistent with previous reports.26 In East Asia, the frequency of haplogroup C on HD chromosomes is significantly increased relative to the frequency of European Journal of Human Genetics East Asian vs European HD ...
