Genetic variability is the clay of evolution, providing the base material on which adaptation
and speciation depend. It is often assumed that most interspecific differences in variability …

The male specificity of the human Y chromosome makes it potentially useful in forensic
studies and paternity testing, and markers are now available which will allow its usefulness …

The paper is concerned with methods for the estimation of the coalescence time (time since
the most recent common ancestor) of a sample of intraspecies DNA sequences. The …

" This volume inspires. It certainly will be much appreciated by cell biologists all over the
world." Quarterly Review of Biology, March 2009 This book is the eagerly awaited second …

A multicenter study has been carried out to characterize 13 polymorphic short tandem repeat
(STR) systems located on the male specific part of the human Y chromosome (DYS19 …

The nonrecombining portion of the human Y chromosome has proven to be a valuable tool
for the study of population history. The maintenance of extended haplotypes characteristic of …

This paper considers the extent to which the geneticization ofrace'and ethnicity is the
prevailing outcome of genetic testing for genealogical purposes. The decoding of the human …

Clinal patterns of autosomal genetic diversity within Europe have been interpreted in
previous studies in terms of a Neolithic demic diffusion model for the spread of agriculture; in …

The timing and nature of the arrival and the subsequent expansion of modern humans into
eastern Asia remains controversial. Using Y-chromosome biallelic markers, we investigated …

Y chromosome haplotypes are particularly useful in deciphering human evolutionary history
because they accentuate the effects of drift, migration, and range expansion. Significant …
