Features of evolution and expansion of modern humans, inferred from genomewide microsatellite markers.

American journal of human genetics - 1 May 2003

Zhivotovsky Lev A, Rosenberg Noah A, Feldman Marcus W

Abstract excerpt

We study data on variation in 52 worldwide populations at 377 autosomal short tandem repeat loci, to infer a demographic history of human populations. Variation at di-, tri-, and tetranucleotide repeat loci is distributed differently, although each class of markers exhibits a decrease of within-population genetic variation in the following order: sub-Saharan Africa, Eurasia, East Asia, Oceania, and America. There...
