Abstract excerpt
We have used a new method for binning minisatellite alleles (semi-automated allele aggregation) and report the extent of population diversity detectable by eleven minisatellite loci in 2,689 individuals from 19 human populations distributed widely throughout the world. Whereas population relationships are consistent with those found in other studies, our estimate of genetic differentiation (F(st)) between...
