Abstract excerpt
We have sequenced a highly polymorphic subterminal noncoding region from human chromosome 16p13.3 flanking the 5' end of the hypervariable minisatellite MS205, in 100 chromosomes sampled from different African and Euroasiatic populations. Coalescence analysis indicates that the time to the most recent common ancestor (approximately 1 million years) predates the appearance of anatomically modern human forms. The...
