mtDNA variation in the Yanomami: evidence for additional New World founding lineages.

American journal of human genetics - 1 Jul 1996

Easton R D, Merriwether D A, Crews D E, Ferrell R E

Abstract excerpt

Native Americans have been classified into four founding haplogroups with as many as seven founding lineages based on mtDNA RFLPs and DNA sequence data. mtDNA analysis was completed for 83 Yanomami from eight villages in the Surucucu and Catrimani Plateau regions of Roraima in northwestern Brazil. Samples were typed for 15 polymorphic mtDNA sites (14 RFLP sites and 1 deletion site), and a subset was sequenced for...
