We have identified a Y-chromosomal lineage with several unusual features. It was found in
16 populations throughout a large region of Asia, stretching from the Pacific to the Caspian …

Eighteen binary polymorphisms and 16 multiallelic, short-tandem-repeat (STR) loci from the
nonrecombining portion of the human Y chromosome were typed in 718 male subjects …

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a devastating form of retinal degeneration, with significant
social and professional consequences. Molecular genetic information is invaluable for an …

The codon usage patterns of viruses reflect the evolutionary changes that allow them to
optimize their survival and adapt their fitness to the external environment and, most …

Approximately 1% of the global population is affected by intellectual disability (ID), and the
majority receive no molecular diagnosis. Previous studies have indicated high levels of …

Stargardt disease is caused by variants in the ABCA4 gene, a significant part of which are
noncanonical splice site (NCSS) variants. In case a gene of interest is not expressed in …

33 Mb of sequence from the human Y chromosome was searched for tri-to hexanucleotide
microsatellites. Twenty loci containing a stretch of eight or more repeat units with complete …

The origins and dispersal of farming and pastoral nomadism in southwestern Asia are
complex, and there is controversy about whether they were associated with cultural …

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a heterogeneous group of inherited retinal diseases caused by
progressive degeneration of the photoreceptor cells. Using autozygosity mapping, we …

There has been considerable recent progress in the implementation of public health
genomics policy throughout the developed world. However, in the developing world, genetic …
