Genetic variability in a genomic region with long-range linkage disequilibrium reveals traces of a bottleneck in the history of the European population.

Abstract excerpt

The inference of the demographic history of populations from genetic variability data is not only of academic interest. It also provides background information for the identification of genes which may have played a role in human evolution or in the aetiology of human disease. To obtain a clear picture of this background, it is necessary to compare data obtained from a number of genomic loci. Due to its very low...
