Human mtDNA and Y-chromosome variation is correlated with matrilocal versus patrilocal residence.

Nature genetics - 1 Sept 2001

Oota H, Settheetham-Ishida W, Tiwawech D, Ishida T, Stoneking M

Abstract excerpt

Genetic differences among human populations are usually larger for the Y chromosome than for mtDNA. One possible explanation is the higher rate of female versus male migration due to the widespread phenomenon of patrilocality, in which the woman moves to her mate's residence after marriage. To test this hypothesis, we compare mtDNA and Y-chromosome variation in three matrilocal (in which the man moves to his...
