“…In four cases the pairs were from the same sampling sites, in one case the pair was from the same Yemeni governate but different sampling sites, and in two cases the pairs were from different governates. Additionally, four of our Yemeni sequences were found to be identical to previously published sequences from the United States, Somalia, and Yemen (Socotra) in haplogroups L3b1a, L3d1a1a, and L3h2 (n 5 2) (Just et al, 2008;Soares et al, 2012). Consistent with previous findings by Cern y et al (2008) who also used this collection of samples, five haplotypes (n 5 6 sequences) were classified to South Asian haplogroups M3a2, M5a2a2, M5a5, M44a1, and M52b (n 5 2).…”
