Genetic Variation among Major Human Geographic Groups Supports a Peculiar Evolutionary Trend in PAX9
A total of 172 persons from nine South Amerindian, three African and one Eskimo populations were studied in relation to the Paired box gene 9 (PAX9) exon 3 (138 base pairs) as well as its 5'and 3'flanking intronic segments (232 bp and 220 bp, respectively) and integrated with the information available for the same genetic region from individuals of different geographical origins. Nine mutations...
متن کاملDiffering Evolutionary Histories of the ACTN3*R577X Polymorphism among the Major Human Geographic Groups
It has been proposed that the functional ACTN3*R577X polymorphism might have evolved due to selection in Eurasian human populations. To test this possibility we surveyed all available population-based data for this polymorphism and performed a comprehensive evolutionary analysis of its genetic diversity, in order to assess the action of adaptive and random mechanisms on its variation across hum...
متن کاملGenetic variations among three major ethnic groups in Nigeria using RAPD
Genetically, every individual is unique; this may stem from inheritance, geographical locations, and/or environmental interactions. This study examined the possibility of developing a cheap and easy-to-use marker that can distinguish among the three ethnic groups in Nigeria using RAPD-PCR. Five RAPD primers, OPA1-3 and OPC1-2, were randomly selected and used to amplify DNA samples isolated from...
متن کاملGenetic, geographic, and environmental correlates of human temporal bone variation.
Temporal bone shape has been shown to reflect molecular phylogenetic relationships among hominoids and offers significant morphological detail for distinguishing taxa. Although it is generally accepted that temporal bone shape, like other aspects of morphology, has an underlying genetic component, the relative influence of genetic and environmental factors is unclear. To determine the impact of...
متن کاملGenetic variation among Escherichia coli isolates from human and calves by using RAPD PCR
Background: Various strains of Escherichia coli (E. coli) are known as major causes of intestinal and extraintestinal infections in humans and various animal species. Molecular methods are important for the identification of bacterial isolates and nucleotide sequence variations, as well as information on tracking bacterial agents related to the outbreaks, the frequency of the bacterial genetic ...
