The dichotomy structure of Y chromosome Haplogroup N
Kang Hu, Shi Yan, Kai Liu +16
Haplogroup N-M231 of human Y chromosome is a common clade from Eastern Asia to Northern Europe, being one of the most frequent haplogroups in Altaic and Uralic-speaking populations…
Genetic structure of Sino-Tibetan populations revealed by forensic STR loci
Hong-Bing Yao, Chuan-Chao Wang, Jiang Wang +13
The origin and diversification of Sino-Tibetan populations have been a long-standing hot debate. However, the limited genetic information of Tibetan populations keeps this topic fa…
Agriculture driving male expansion in Neolithic Time
Chuan-Chao Wang, Yunzhi Huang, Shao-Qing Wen +3
The emergence of agriculture is suggested to have driven extensive human population growths. However, genetic evidence from maternal mitochondrial genomes suggests major population…
Global patterns of sex-biased migrations in humans
Chuan-Chao Wang, Li Jin, Hui Li
A series of studies have revealed the among-population components of genetic variation are higher for the paternal Y chromosome than for the maternal mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), whi…
Discovery of Phylogenetic Relevant Y-chromosome Variants in 1000 Genomes Project Data
Chuan-Chao Wang, Hui Li
Current Y chromosome research is limited in the poor resolution of Y chromosome phylogenetic tree. Entirely sequenced Y chromosomes in numerous human individuals have only recently…
Natural selection on human Y chromosomes
Chuan-Chao Wang, Li Jin, Hui Li
The paternally inherited Y chromosome has been widely used in population genetic studies to understand relationships among human populations. Our interpretation of Y chromosomal ev…
Present Y chromosomes support the Persian ancestry of Sayyid Ajjal Shams al-Din Omar and Eminent Navigator Zheng He
Chuan-Chao Wang, Ling-Xiang Wang, Manfei Zhang +3
Sayyid Ajjal is the ancestor of many Muslims in areas all across China. And one of his descendants is the famous Navigator of Ming Dynasty, Zheng He, who led the largest armada in…
Convergence of Y chromosome STR haplotypes from different SNP haplogroups compromises accuracy of haplogroup prediction
Chuan-Chao Wang, Ling-Xiang Wang, Rukesh Shrestha +5
Short tandem repeats (STRs) and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are two kinds of commonly used markers in Y chromosome studies of forensic and population genetics. There has…
Y Chromosomes of 40% Chinese Are Descendants of Three Neolithic Super-grandfathers
Shi Yan, Chuan-Chao Wang, Hong-Xiang Zheng +13
Demographic change of human populations is one of the central questions for delving into the past of human beings. To identify major population expansions related to male lineages,…
The GenoChip: A New Tool for Genetic Anthropology
Eran Elhaik, Elliott Greenspan, Sean Staats +13
The Genographic Project is an international effort using genetic data to chart human migratory history. The project is non-profit and non-medical, and through its Legacy Fund suppo…
