Evolution and migration history of the Chinese population inferred from Chinese Y-chromosome evidence

Abstract: Y-chromosomes from 76 Chinese men covering 33 ethnical minorities throughout China as well as the Han majority were collected as genetic material for the study of Chinese nonrecombinant Y-chromosome (NRY) phylogeny. Of the accepted worldwide NRY haplogroups, three (haplogroups D, C, O) were significant in this sample, extending previous assessments of Chinese genetic diversity. Based on geographic, linguistic, and ethnohistorical information, the 33 Chinese ethnical minorities in our survey were divided into t… Show more

“…It supports the second notion above that populations residing in proximate areas are generally closer in genetic relationship. 19,22 Therefore, our results demonstrated that Chinese populations not only have genetic distinctions between the north and south but can also be further divided into more demographic groups, and local gene flow may contribute to the genetic similarity that we observed. TNF gene cluster is conserved during evolution, 35 and encodes inflammatory cytokines crucial to host defense against infection.…”

“…[7][8][9] Albeit the huge population of Haplogroup O, its phylogeny 10 is much less adequately resolved than those of Haplogroup R and E, despite the improvements of O tree made during the recent years. [10][11][12] The most important part of potential interest was the paragroup O3a*-M324(xM121, M159, M164, M7, M134), which comprises a substantial part of Chinese population (typically 15-50% of Han Chinese) but could not be further resolved in the last few years. Fortunately, recent data from HapMap project (http://hapmap.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/) 13 and certain companies show that several single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) can further distinguish the paragroup O3a*.…”
