Abstract

We studied and established a DNA database of 17 Y-STRs in a population sample of 133 unrelated individuals of Salar ethnic minority group, in order to investigate haplotype frequencies of Salar population, evaluate their usefulness in forensic applications, and enrich Chinese population genetic informational resources. Out of a total of 133 individuals 123 showed different haplotypes, while six haplotypes occurred more than once. The overall haplotype diversity for the Y-STRs loci was 0.9983, and the discrimination capacity was 0.9248.

  • Genetic polymorphism analysis of 40 Y-chromosomal STR loci in seven populations from South China

    2018, Forensic Science International
    Citation Excerpt :

    Thirty-six Y-STR loci, except DYS388 (0.486), DYS391 (0.418), DYS437 (0.4702) and DYS438 (0.4101), revealed GD values greater than 0.5, exhibiting a high level of genetic polymorphisms in the total populations. These four poor diversity markers, which are present in the most commonly used Y-STR typing kits, were also observed as not highly diverse in Chinese populations in previous studies [10,16–18]. 9 of the 10 AGCU Y24- or GFS Y24-specific markers with GD values exceeding 0.75 observed in our previous study were also ranked near the top in this study, except DYS520 with a GD value of 0.5790, which ranked near the bottom.

  • Genetic differentiation and forensic efficiency evaluation for Chinese Salar ethnic minority based on a 5-dye multiplex insertion and deletion panel

    Citation Excerpt :

    The present Chinese Salar ethnic minority stems from these early settlers intermarrying with local Tibetan, Hui and Han groups (Lipman, 1998). To date, some scientific reports on the genetic diversity distributions of genetic markers such as autosomal STR (Deng et al., 2007; J. Zhu et al., 2007; Teng et al., 2012), Y-STR (B. Zhu et al., 2007), X-STR (Sun et al., 2012) in Salar group have been published, but no reports on InDel genetic markers in Salar group were investigated. The studied 30 InDel loci are distributed on 19 pairs of autosomes, with the insertion or deletion sequence length ranging from 4 bp to 22 bp.

  • Enriching the knowledge on East Asia populations: Characterization of male lineages from Macau and Shanghai

    Citation Excerpt :

    For the population analyses, the SAMOVA v2.0 software [6] was used, as well as SPSS v21.0 for the Multidimensional Scale (MDS) representation of the genetic distances (RST). Comparisons were carried on with data from several East Asian populations/ethnicities: Tibetans from Qinghai [7] and Lhasa [8]; Salars from Xunhua [9]; Huis from Ningxia [10]; Manchus from Xinbin [11]; Tujias from Youyang [12]; Kazakhs and Uighurs from Xinjiang [13]; and Hans from Shandong [14], Shanxi [15], Henan [16], Luzhou [17], Mudanjiang [18] and Taiwan [19]. In the 130Chinese males, 16 different haplogroups were identified, predominantly belonging to the East Asiatic macro-haplogroup O-M175 that accounted for 89.5% in Macau and 81.5% in Shanghai.

  • Haplotype analysis of the polymorphic 40 Y-STR markers in Chinese populations

    2015, Forensic Science International: Genetics
    Citation Excerpt :

    Thirty-eight Y-STR loci, except DYS391 (0.441658) and DYS437 (0.496977), revealed GD values greater than 0.5, exhibiting a high level of genetic polymorphisms in the total populations. The DYS391 and DYS437 loci were also observed to be poorly diverse markers in previous population studies [2–6], which were present in the most commonly used Y-STR typing kits, such as Yfiler, PPY23, Goldeneye 20Y and AGCU Y24 (Table 1), except GFS Y24. Notably, 10 of the 19 AGCU Y24- or GFS Y24-specific markers, specifically DYS527a/b, DYS449, DYS481, DYS446, DYS630, DYS622, DYS520, DYS557 and DYS444, ranked near the top, with GD values exceeding 0.75 in the total samples.

  • Analysis of 24 y chromosomal STR haplotypes in a Chinese Han population sample from Henan Province, Central China

    Citation Excerpt :

    For having extensive illustration of the genetic relation, the studied data were compared via AMOVA on the Yfiler loci with data from 17 reference populations (published and referenced in the YHRD). Namely Zhejiang Han (n = 4451) [6], Beijing Han (n = 207) (YHRD, Accession # YA003470), Shanxi Han (n = 222) [7], Mudanjiang Han (n = 859) [8], Luzhou Han (n = 424) [9], South Han (n = 119) [10], Taiwan Han (n = 200) [11], Liaoning Manchu (n = 231) [12], Lhasa Tibetan (n = 167) [13], Ningxia Hui (n = 143) [14], Qinghai Salar (n = 133) [15], Xinjiang Kazakh (n = 121) [16], Xinjiang Uyghur (n = 217) [16], Guangxi Yao (n = 100) [17], Guangxi Yi (n = 105) [17], Guangxi Jing (n = 103) [17], and Guangxi Zhuang (n = 107) [17] with the statistical significance determined by a permutation test (10,000 replicates, Table S5). AMOVA analysis showed that 93.93% of the variation was found within populations, whereas 6.07% was among populations (fixation index FST = 0.06066).
