Assessment of genetic diversity in space by superimposition of a distorted geographic map with a spatial population clustering. Application to GM haplotypes of native Amerindian tribes.

Abstract excerpt

The GM immunoglobulin (Ig) allotype distributions of 49 native Amerindian populations from North to South America were analysed by a new technique called 'Mobile Sites Method' (MSM). This allows the global interpretation of genetic diversity in space by means of a distorted geographic map called a 'genetic similarity map'. This approach has been improved by superimposing in the distorted geographic map both the...
