Genetic ancestry of a Moroccan population as inferred from autosomal STRs
Detecting population substructure and ancestry is a critical issue for both association studies of health behaviors and forensic genetics. Determining aspects of a population's genetic history as potential sources of substructure can aid in design of future genetic studies. Within this context, fifteen autosomal short tandem repeat (STR), were used to examine population genetic structure and hy...
متن کاملGenetic diversity of 15 autosomal STR loci in a Moroccan population
Allelic distribution of 15 STR loci (D3S1358, D5S818, D7S820, D13S317, vWA, FGA, TH01, TPOX, CSF1PO, D16S539, D8S1179, D21S11, D18S51, D19S433, and D2S1338) were analyzed in 80 unrelated Moroccan men from two regions using AmpF/STR Identifiler kit. The combined power of exclusion (PE) was 0.999993525 and the combined power of discrimination (PD) was >0.999999999. Comparisons with other publishe...
متن کاملAutosomal STRs Provide Genetic Evidence for the Hypothesis That Tai People Originate from Southern China
Tai people are widely distributed in Thailand, Laos and southwestern China and are a large population of Southeast Asia. Although most anthropologists and historians agree that modern Tai people are from southwestern China and northern Thailand, the place from which they historically migrated remains controversial. Three popular hypotheses have been proposed: northern origin hypothesis, souther...
متن کاملRevisiting the Genetic Ancestry of Brazilians Using Autosomal AIM-Indels
There are many different studies that contribute to the global picture of the ethnic heterogeneity in Brazilian populations. These studies use different types of genetic markers and are focused on the comparison of populations at different levels. In some of them, each geographical region is treated as a single homogeneous population, whereas other studies create different subdivisions: politic...
متن کاملGenetic analysis of 17 Y-STRs in a Mestizo population from the Central Valley of Mexico.
This study aims to portray the complex diversity of the Mexican Mestizo population, which represents 98.8% of the entire population of Mexico. We compiled extended haplotype data of the Y chromosome from populations in the Central Valley of Mexico (CVM), which we compared with other Mestizo and parental (Amerindian, European, and African) populations. A complex ancestral relationship was found ...
