Abstract:
Allele frequencies of mitochondrial D-loop (CA)(n) repeat was carried out in six Chinese ethnic groups: Han ethnic group in Beijing, Uygur ethnic group in Kashi of Xinjiang province, Li ethnic group in Hainan province, Yao ethnic group in Junan of Guangxi province, Tibet ethnic group in Lasa of Xizang province and Yi ethnic group in Honghe of Yunnan province. A total of 542 individuals were typed. Comparative analyses between our population data and other populations gathered from the literature were performed.

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs
Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs
Copy number variations or CNVs are the structural variations that cover more than 1kb of DNA sequence. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), on the other hand, is a single nucleotide change or a point mutation that is found in more than 1%...
Multi-species Conserved Sequences
Although the genome of each species varies greatly from each other, a few sequences are highly conserved. Such conserved DNA...
