“…Today the aborigines of the island of Taiwan speak 9-12 languages that belong to the Formosan subdivision of Austronesian [9,10] while the inhabitant of Orchid Island, the Yami, speak Yami a member of the Batanic group of languages and itself a member of the Malayo-Polynesian branch of Austronesian that includes all Austronesian languages outside Taiwan. Batanic languages are also spoken in northern Philippines [11].…”

This article reports on the genetic characteristics of the Ami and Yami, two aboriginal populations of Taiwan. Y-SNP and mtDNA markers as well as autosomal SNPs were utilized to investigate the phylogenetic relationships to groups from MSEA (mainland Southeast Asia), ISEA (island Southeast Asia), and Oceania. Both the Ami and Yami have limited genetic diversity, with the Yami having even less diversity than the Ami. The partitioning of populations within the PCA plots based on autosomal SNPs, the profile constitution observed in the structure analyses demonstrating similar composition among specific populations, the average IBD (identical by descent) tract length gradients, the average total length of genome share among the populations, and the outgroup f3 results all indicate genetic affinities among populations that trace a geographical arc from Taiwan south into the Philippine Archipelago, Borneo, Indonesia, and Melanesia. Conversely, a more distant kinship between the Ami/Yami and MSEA based on all the markers examined, the total mtDNA sequences as well as the admixture f3 and f4 analyses argue against strong genetic contribution from MSEA to the Austronesian dispersal. The sharing of long IBD tracts, total genome length, and the large number of segments in common between the Ami/Yami and the Society Archipelago populations East Polynesia standout considering they are located about 10,700 km apart.

“…Rst is one of the most widely used measures for genetic differentiation; it plays a central role in ecological and evolutionary genetic studies. Using AMOVA, population Rst and their respective p-values (p<0.05) were calculated in order to understand the genetic relationship between the studied population and other eighteen populations characterized in the literature: China [Han]; Uttar Pradesh, India [Afridi Pathan]; Punjab, India [Balmiki]; Gujarat, India [Bhil]; Andhra Pradesh, India [Brahmin]; Karnataka, India [Indian]; Madhya Pradesh, India [Gond]; Jharkhand, India [Indian]; Madhya Pradesh, India [Indian]; Tamil Nadu, India [Iyengar]; Madhya Pradesh, India [Kanyakubja Brahmin]; Maharashtra, India [Konkanastha Brahmin]; Tripura, India [Riang]; Tripura, India [Tripuri]; Malaysia [Indian]; Nepal [Newar]; Balochistan, Pakistan [Baloch]; and Singapore [Indian] [ 2 , 12 , 22 – 28 ]. For the comparison, the same 17 Y-STR loci were used ( Table 2 ) with the statistical significance determined by a permutation test with 10,000 replicates.…”

“…The reason for the two analyses was because of the increased number of markers in the analyzed population and the reduced number of markers in the populations that were available for comparison. The first group of populations selected for comparison with the population of Croatia using the Yfiler™ Plus marker set included: Croatia (n = 507, present study), Slovenia (n = 194, (22)), Belgium (n = 160, (23-26)), Hungary (n = 218, (27-33)), Austria (n =392, (34-38)), Germany (n = 495, (39-49)), Italy (n = 689, (50-67)), North Macedonia (n = 295, (68-71)), Serbia (n = 183, (72-74)), Denmark (n=177, (75)), Ethiopia (n=290, (76)), French Polynesia (n=81), (77, 78)), Ghana (n=584, (79)), India (n=541, (80-98)), Lithuania (n=251, (99-101)), Mexico (n=354, (102-107)), Nigeria (n=337, (108)), Pakistan (n=280, (109-121)), Poland (n=612, (122-130)), Russian Federation (n=958, (131-143)), Saudi Arabia (n=156, (144, 145)), Spain (n=316, (146-164)), Switzerland (n=724, (19, 165, 166)), and United Kingdom (n=115, (167, 168)).…”

Aim: To analyze additional set of Y-Chromosome genetic markers to acquire a more detailed insight into the diversity of the Croatian population. Methods: A total number of 518 Yfiler Plus profiles was genotyped. Allele, haplotype frequencies and haplotype diversity, were calculated using the STRAF software package v2.0.4. Genetic distances were quantified by Rst using AMOVA online tool from the YHRD. The evolutionary history was inferred using the neighbor-joining method of phylogenetic tree construction in MEGAX software. Whit Athey's Haplogroup Predictor v5 was used for additional comparison with selected European populations. Results: The total of 507 haplotypes were used for genetic STR analysis. The interpopulation comparison with the original 27 Y-STR markers shows the lowest genetic diversity between Croatian and Serbian population, and the highest between Croatian and Spanish population. Interpopulation study on 17 Y-STR markers shows the lowest genetic diversity between Croatian and Bosnian-Herzegovinian population, and the highest between Croatian and Irish population. Total of 518 haplotypes were used in the determination of haplogroup diversity. Haplogroup I with its sublineage I2a expressed the highest prevalence. Haplogroup R, with its major sublineage R1a, is the second most abundant in the studied Croatian population, except for the subpopulation of Hvar, where E1b1b is the second most abundant haplogroup. Rare haplogroups also confirmed in this study are L, T and Q. G1 is detected for the very first time in Croatian population. Conclusion: New insight into differences between examined subpopulations of Croatia and their possible (dis)similarities with neighboring abroad populations was notified.
