Abstract excerpt

DNA sequence diversity in the human elastin genomic region has been estimated by RFLP analysis in a normal human population. The proportion of polymorphic nucleotides and the degree of nucleotide diversity were 0.0034 and 0.0018 respectively. It is argued that the estimate of nucleotide diversity does not indicate strong purifying selection in the region. A total of 144 restriction sites were sampled in each of...
