▪ 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 …

Alu insertional elements, the most abundant class of SINEs in humans are dimeric
sequences approximately 300 bp in length derived from the 7SL RNA gene. These …

We analyzed admixture in samples of six different African‐American populations from South
Carolina: Gullah‐speaking Sea Islanders in coastal South Carolina, residents of four …

To evaluate sex-specific differences in gene flow between Native American populations from
South America and between those populations and recent immigrants to the New World, we …

Y chromosomal DNA polymorphisms were used to investigate Pleistocene male migrations
to the American continent. In a worldwide sample of 306 men, we obtained 32 haplotypes …

We analyze the allelic polymorphisms in seven Y-specific microsatellite loci and a Y-specific
alphoid system with 27 variants (αh I–XXVII), in a total of 89 Y chromosomes carrying the …

Y‐linked markers are suitable loci to analyze genetic diversity of human populations,
offering knowledge of medical, forensic, and anthropological interest. In a population sample …

The human populations of the Brazilian Amazon were formed by interethnic crosses
between Europeans, Africans, and Amerindians. The relative contribution of men and …

A review was made in relation to the molecular variability present in North, Central, and
South American Indian populations. It involved results from ancient DNA, mitochondrial DNA …

The genetic variability of a Quechua-speaking Andean population from Peru was examined
on the basis of four Y chromosome markers and restriction sites that define the Amerindian …
