A 9.1-kb insertion/deletion polymorphism suggests a common pattern of genetic diversity in Island Melanesia.

Human biology - 1 Dec 2003

Abstract excerpt

Earlier reports suggest a distinct pattern of genetic variation linked to both language and geographic distance in Island Melanesia. Inland Papuan-speaking populations from different islands tend to share one allelic profile, while shore-based or more cosmopolitan populations share another, related to Southeast Asian influence over the past 3000 years. In the present paper, we report the genotypes and allele...
