Monogenic, multigenic, and polygenic determinants of cancer risk
… and algebra is provided for applications in human population genetics. Risks are considered in terms of alleles necessary and/or sufficient for carcinogenesis. Alleles are first classified with respect to their effects on reproductive fitness, and then in terms of their potential effects on …

A comprehensive analysis of recently integrated human LINE-1 mobile elements
… (LINE or L1) have had an enormous influence on human genomic structure, comprising about 20% of the mass of the human genome. In this analysis the most recent L1 insertions in the human genome belonging to L1Hs Ta and preTa subfamilies were examined to further understand the impact L1 elements …

An analysis of human Alu element lineages
… subfamilies are still actively mobilizing in the human genome. We have recovered 4333 Ya and Yb-lineage elements that reside in the human genome draft sequence and focused our analyses on the 4051 autosomal Alu elements. A total of 2672 autosomal loci were subjected to polymerase chain reaction …

The genetic heritage of China: A genomic study of PR China based on nine representative ethnic populations
… evidence in efforts to reconstruct human history. As technology has developed, studies have utilised genomic techniques in tracing the origins and migratory patterns of modem humans. East Asia is a particular hotspot of human migration, _especially Mainland China where a large number …

Mitochondrial DNA in ancient human populations of Europe.
The distribution of human genetic variability is the result of thousand years of human evolutionary and population history. Geographical variation in the nonrecombining maternally inherited mitochondrial DNA has been studied in a wide array of modern populations in order to reconstruct the …

Quantifying recent variation and relatedness in human populations
Advances in the genetic analysis of humans have revealed a surprising abundance of local relatedness between purportedly unrelated individuals. Where common mutations classically inform us of ancient relationships, such segments of pairwise identical by descent (IBD) sharing from a common ancestor …
