Geographic variation in human mitochondrial DNA from Papua New Guinea.

Genetics - 1 Mar 1990

Stoneking M, Jorde L B, Bhatia K, Wilson A C

Abstract excerpt

High resolution mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) restriction maps, consisting of an average of 370 sites per mtDNA map, were constructed for 119 people from 25 localities in Papua New Guinea (PNG). Comparison of these PNG restriction maps to published maps from Australian, Caucasian, Asian and African mtDNAs reveals that PNG has the lowest amount of mtDNA variation, and that PNG mtDNA lineages originated from Southeast...
