Abstract excerpt

Published frequencies for alleles at the alpha- and zeta-globin gene loci within the alpha-globin gene cluster were used to calculate genetic distances between populations of South East Asia and the Pacific region. When analyses using the alpha-globin alleles, populations are grouped according to...
