TL;DR: A resource of 1064 cultured lymphoblastoid cell lines from individuals in different world populations and corresponding milligram quantities of DNA is deposited at the Foundation Jean Dausset (CEPH) in Paris.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effective mutation rate at Y chromosome short tandem repeats, with application to human population-divergence time.

TL;DR: This value is used to estimate the times of the African Bantu expansion, the divergence of Polynesian populations (the Maoris, Cook Islanders, and Samoans), and the origin of Gypsy populations from Bulgaria.
Journal ArticleDOI
African origin of human-specific polymorphic Alu insertions
Mark A. Batzer,Mark Stoneking,Michelle Alegria-Hartman,Hernan A. Bazan,David H. Kass,Tamim H. Shaikh,Gabriel E. Novick,Panayiotis A. Ioannou,W D Scheer,Rene J. Herrera +9 more
TL;DR: These four polymorphic Alu insertions were shown to be absent from the genomes of a number of nonhuman primates, consistent with their arising as human genetic polymorphisms sometime after the human/African ape divergence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mutations in radial spoke head protein genes RSPH9 and RSPH4A cause primary ciliary dyskinesia with central-microtubular-pair abnormalities

TL;DR: Investigation of the effect of knockdown or mutations of RSPH9 orthologs in zebrafish and Chlamydomonas indicate that radial spoke head proteins are important in maintaining normal movement in motile, "9+2"-structure cilia and flagella.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The overall phylogeographic profile reveals several clinal patterns and genetic partitions that may indicate source, direction, and relative timing of different waves of dispersals and expansions involving these nine populations.
