Study of an additional 58 DNA markers in five human populations from four continents

A M Bowcock et al. Gene Geogr. 1991 Dec.

Abstract

One hundred DNA polymorphisms from 73 loci (42 genes and 31 anonymous DNA segments) were investigated in five populations (Biaka and Mbuti Pygmies, Melanesians, Chinese and Caucasoids). Data for 47 polymorphisms, including 42 of those discussed here, were described previously [Bowcock et al 1987]. Here we report statistical quantities of genetic importance for each gene and population. The average FST for the 100 markers is 0.137 and the average heterozygosity is 0.325. When known genes and anonymous segments are compared there is no significant difference in the average FST values or in the average heterozygosities.
