Abstract excerpt
The genetic variation at a compound nonrecombining haplotype system, consisting of the previously reported SB19.3 Alu insertion polymorphism and a newly identified adjacent short tandem repeat (STR), was studied in population samples from Portugal and São Tomé (Gulf of Guinea, West Africa). Age estimates based on the linked microsatellite variation suggest that the Alu insertion occurred about 190,000 years ago....
