Genetic change in the polynesian population of Easter Island: evidence from Alu insertion polymorphisms.

Annals of human genetics - 1 Nov 2006

González-Pérez E, Esteban E, Via M, García-Moro C, Hernández M, Moral P

Abstract excerpt

The origin of Pacific islanders is still an open issue in human population genetics. To address this topic we analyzed a set of 18 Alu insertion polymorphisms in a total of 176 chromosomes from native Easter Island inhabitants (Rapanui). Available genealogical records allowed us to subdivide the...
