Analyzing genetic population structure is useful in gaining insight about the evolutionary history of human populations. It gives us an understanding of the genetic similarities and differences between different populations and helps study their isolation, migration and inter-mixing.

متن کاملThe Genetic Structure of Pacific Islanders
Human genetic diversity in the Pacific has not been adequately sampled, particularly in Melanesia. As a result, population relationships there have been open to debate. A genome scan of autosomal markers (687 microsatellites and 203 insertions/deletions) on 952 individuals from 41 Pacific populations now provides the basis for understanding the remarkable nature of Melanesian variation, and for...

متن کاملSerum ferritin and transferrin saturation in Asians and Pacific Islanders.
BACKGROUND Asians and Pacific Islanders in the Hemochromatosis and Iron Overload Screening (HEIRS) Study had the highest prevalence of elevated serum ferritin (SF) and transferrin saturation (TS) levels, but to our knowledge, the reasons for this have not been investigated. METHODS Using multiple linear regression, we compared TS and SF distributions for 42 720 Asian, Pacific Islander, and wh...
