  • Allele Frequency Estimation from Ambiguous Data: Using Resampling Schema in Validating Frequency Estimates and in Selective Neutrality Testing

    J M Nunes, María Eugenia Riccio et al.ARTICLEHuman Biology2011

    The development of molecular typing techniques applied to the study of population genetic diversity originates data with increasing precision but at the cost of some ambiguities. As distinct techniques may produce distinct kinds of ambiguities, a crucial issue is to assess the differences between frequency distributions estimated from data produced by alternative techniques for the same sample. To that aim, we developed a resampling scheme that a…

  • The Austroasiatic Munda Population from India and Its Enigmatic Origin: A HLA Diversity Study

    María Eugenia Riccio, J M Nunes et al.ARTICLEHuman Biology2011Cited by: 2References: 12

    The Austroasiatic linguistic family disputes its origin between two geographically distant regions of Asia, India, and Southeast Asia, respectively. As genetic studies based on classical and gender-specific genetic markers provided contradictory results to this debate thus far, we investigated the HLA diversity (HLA-A, -B, and -DRB1 loci) of an Austroasiatic Munda population from Northeast India and its relationships with other populations from I…

  • Hla Genetic Diversity and Linguistic Variation in East Asia

    Alicia Sanchez‐maza, Alicia Sanchez-Mazas et al.CHAPTERPeopling Of East Asia2010

    INTRODUCTION Molecular anthropology - the study of human genetic polymorphisms - is now often used to investigate the accuracy of archaeological and/or linguistic hypotheses. One of the classic examples is the use of genetics in an attempt to discriminate between two alternative models for the spread of agriculture in Europe - the demic and the cultural diffusion models - which finally led to a general approval of the former by geneticists, who r…

  • Genetic Diversity in Tunisia: A Study Based on the GM Polymorphism of Human Immunoglobulins

    Karima Fadhlaoui-Zid, Karima Fadhlaoui‐zid et al.ARTICLEHuman Biology2004Cited by: 5References: 8

    The GM polymorphism of human immunoglobulins is analyzed in three Berber populations of southern Tunisia and compared to other GM data. Genetic diversity among Tunisian populations is higher than that among Europeans but does not exhibit any significant geographic or linguistic structure. This result suggests a complex pattern of genetic differentiation

  • Genetics and history of sub-Saharan Africa

    Open AccessLaurent Excoffier, Béatrice Pellegrini et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Physical…1987Cited by: 26References: 117

    This paper aims to review the contribution of genetic data to the prehistory and history of sub-Saharan African peoples. The authors review briefly paleontologic data, which give limited information about modern Homo sapiens sapiens origins and isolation of present African gene pools. Most linguistic and archaeological theories about African peoples' prehistory are then confronted with the most informative genetic data available. Rhesus, Gm, HLA,…
