TL;DR: Significant nonrandom association between two markers located 22 cM apart (FY-null and AT3) is detected, most likely due to admixture linkage disequilibrium created in the interbreeding of the two parental populations, emphasize the importance of admixed populations as a useful resource for mapping traits with different prevalence in two parental population.

TL;DR: Applying ANOVA to the distributions of the allele sizes at microsatellite loci from a set of populations, grouped by repeat motif types, provides an estimate of motif-type-specific mutation rates up to a multiplicative constant, indicating that the earlier suggestion of higher mutation rates of tetranucleotides in comparison with the din nucleotides may stem from a nonrandom sampling of tetanucleotide loci in direct mutation assays.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report a preplanned, midpoint analysis of the first population-based, case-control study that examines both genetic and environmental risk factors of ICH.

TL;DR: This pattern indicates that the first settlement of modern humans in eastern Asia occurred in mainland Southeast Asia during the last Ice Age, coinciding with the absence of human fossils in easternAsia, 50,000-100,000 years ago.

TL;DR: Through a search of the literature and of unpublished data on allele frequencies, a panel of population-specific genetic markers are identified that enable robust ethnic-affiliation estimation for major U.S. resident populations and it is demonstrated that this panel of markers provides significant statistical power for ethnic-Affiliation estimation.
