We found that schizophre...
متن کاملConstruction of Genetic Relationship Matrices (GRMs)
Two GRMs were fitted using the method created by Zaitlen et al (2013). The first GRM comprised of pairwise relationship coefficients of all individuals in the sample. The second GRM included off-diagonal elements of pairs of individuals who has a relationship coefficient < 0.05 set to 0. Assuming inbreeding had not taken place, the second GRM excluded pairs of individuals with a most recent com...
متن کاملGenetic relationship of populations in China.
Despite the fact that the continuity of morphology of fossil specimens of modern humans found in China has repeatedly challenged the Out-of-Africa hypothesis, Chinese populations are underrepresented in genetic studies. Genetic profiles of 28 populations sampled in China supported the distinction between southern and northern populations, while the latter are biphyletic. Linguistic boundaries a...
