▪ Abstract A number of important insights into the peopling of the New World have been
gained through molecular genetic studies of Siberian and Native American populations …

In 1995, much to the delight of mitochondrial Eve (Cann et al. 1987), the search for a
suitable partner resulted in the discovery of Y-chromosomal Adam (Dorit et al. 1995; Pääbo …

American Indians (AIs) have some of the poorest documented health outcomes of any
racial/ethnic group. Research plays a vital role in addressing these health disparities …

We estimate an effective mutation rate at an average Y chromosome short-tandem repeat
locus as 6.9× 10− 4 per 25 years, with a standard deviation across loci of 5.7× 10− 4, using …

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 …

British history contains several periods of major cultural change. It remains controversial as
to how much these periods coincided with substantial immigration from continental Europe …

There is great scientific and popular interest in understanding the genetic history of
populations in the Americas. We wish to understand when different regions of the continent …

A number of applications of analysis of human Y-chromosome microsatellite loci to human
evolution and forensic science require reliable estimates of the mutation rate and knowledge …

A total of 63 binary polymorphisms and 10 short tandem repeats (STRs) were genotyped on
a sample of 2,344 Y chromosomes from 18 Native American, 28 Asian, and 5 European …

By using 19 Y chromosome biallelic markers and 3 Y chromosome microsatellite markers,
we analyzed the genetic structure of 31 indigenous Sino-Tibetan speaking populations (607 …
