Genetic differentiation of Jewish populations.
The Jewish diaspora can be viewed as a natural process in population dispersion and differentiation. We extend genetic studies on the Jewish diaspora to an analysis of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) haplotype distributions in the Jewish peoples, and show the value of this information for the design of Jewish marrow donor registries. HLA data from the Hadassah Bone Marrow Registry having parental...
متن کاملmtDNA analysis of Nile River Valley populations: A genetic corridor or a barrier to migration?
To assess the extent to which the Nile River Valley has been a corridor for human migrations between Egypt and sub-Saharan Africa, we analyzed mtDNA variation in 224 individuals from various locations along the river. Sequences of the first hypervariable segment (HV1) of the mtDNA control region and a polymorphic HpaI site at position 3592 allowed us to designate each mtDNA as being of "norther...
متن کاملGene identity and genetic differentiation of populations in the finite island model.
A formula for the variance of gene identity (homozygosity) was derived for the case of neutral mutations using diffusion approximations for the changes of gene frequencies in a subdivided population. It is shown that when gene flow is extremely small, the variance of gene identity for the entire population at equilibrium is smaller than that of the panmictic population with the same mean gene i...
متن کاملGenetic Differentiation among Mountain Island Populations of the Striped Plateau Lizard, Sceloporus virgatus (Squamata: Phrynosomatidae)
We used DNA sequences from several mitochondrial regions (ND2, ND4, and adjacent tRNAs) to examine genetic structure and divergence among populations of the Striped Plateau Lizard, Sceloporus virgatus. In the northern portion of this species’ range, populations occupy mesic habitats at higher elevations in the mountain ranges of the Madrean Archipelago, and are thus isolated by dry, inhospitabl...
متن کاملGenetic and morphometric differentiation between island and mainland southern elephant seal populations.
We compare genetic (both nuclear and mitochondrial) and morphometric measures between two putative populations of southern elephant seal (Mirounga leonina), and interpret the results in the context of data from mark-recapture and satellite-telemetric studies. One population is on the Argentine mainland, while the other is 2,400 km away on South Georgia island. We found pronounced differentiatio...
