Characterizing genetic variation in three Southeast Asian populations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Singapore is a small island-nation situated at the tip of the Malay Peninsular in Southeast Asia. It existed as a British colony from 1819 to 1959, interspersed by a period of Japanese occupation from 1942 to 1945 during World War II. Throughout its colonial history, Singapore has been the recipient of extensive immigration from various parts of Asia, and the same diversity is still reflected in Singapore’s ethnic composition today.

Mitochondrial DNA diversity in Southeast Asian populations.
In a previous study of Southeast Asian genetic variation, we characterized mitochondrial DNAs (mtDNAs) from six populations through high-resolution restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis. Our analysis revealed that these Southeast Asian populations were genetically similar to each other, suggesting they had a common origin. However, other patterns of population associations al...
متن کاملAncestry of the Iban Is Predominantly Southeast Asian: Genetic Evidence from Autosomal, Mitochondrial, and Y Chromosomes
Humans reached present-day Island Southeast Asia (ISEA) in one of the first major human migrations out of Africa. Population movements in the millennia following this initial settlement are thought to have greatly influenced the genetic makeup of current inhabitants, yet the extent attributed to different events is not clear. Recent studies suggest that south-to-north gene flow largely influenc...

In the present study for evaluation of genetic variability within and between Iranian native fowls, thirty nine blood samples were randomly collected from native fowls breeding stations of west Azarbayjan, Khorasan, Fars, Mazandaran, Yazd and Esfahan provinces. Inorder to compare the obtained results with other Asian, African and European breeds the D-loop sequences of mtDNA taken from GenBan...
متن کاملEvolutionary history of subspecies of Eurasian nuthatches (Sitta europaea persica) from Zagros Mountains, Iran
Abstract. Eurasian Nuthatch (Sitta europaea), with 18 subspecies, has a wide distribution in deciduous forests of Eurasia. The subspecies S.e.persica is a resident bird in the Zagros Mountains, from north-west to south-west of Iran. The aim of this study was to evaluate the taxonomic and phylogenetic relationships of this subspecies to European, Asian, as well as Caucasian clades. For this purp...
متن کاملMitochondrial DNA variation in wild and hatchery populations of northern pike, Esox lucius L.
Esox lucius is an economically important freshwater species. Mitochondrial cytb, 12SrRNA, and 16SrRNA gene sequences were used in order to clarify the genetic variation and population structure in three E. Lucius populations, i.e., one Wild population (W) and two hatchery populations (Hatchery Population I-HPI and Hatchery Population II-HPII). A total of 55 individuals, with 19 from wild and 1...
