Y-chromosome diversity is inversely associated with language affiliation in paired Austronesian- and Papuan- Speaking communities from Solomon

Article Abstract:

A study on Y-chromosome lineages and language affiliation in paired Austronesian - and Papuan- Speaking communities from Solomon Islands is presented. No relationship between Y-chromosome lineages and language affiliation was observed on a small scale within Solomon Islands, but this may result from a sampling strategy that targeted small communities where individual y-chromosome lineages can be fixed or become extinct by genetic drift or favored paternal exogamy.

Use of short Tandem repeats loci to study the genetic structure of several populations from Zulia state, Venezuela

Article Abstract:

Selected autosomal microsatellite markers can study the genetic structures of different populations living in north-west Venezuela, in Zulia State. The results indicate that microsatellite markers are useful for molecular anthropology in a regional and worldwide context and provide important genetic information about contemporary populations of Venezuela.

Locus-specific genetic diversity between human populations: an analysis of the literature

Article Abstract:

Values of Fst are compared among the three most commonly defined human continental populations groups such as Africans, Asians, and Europeans. Results showed that the majority of pairwise population values of Fst for over 30 genes of biomedical significance were either below or within the expected limits of Fst based on published values.
