Association between Ngb polymorphisms and ischemic stroke in the Southern Chinese Han population

BMC Medical Genetics, 2008
Background Neuroglobin (Ngb), one of novel members of the globin superfamily, is expressed predominantly in brain neurons, and appears to modulate hypoxic-ischemic insults. The mechanisms underlying Ngb-mediated neuronal protection are still unclear. For

Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of Chinese Chestnut (Castanea mollissima Blume) Cultivars Revealed by GBS Resequencing

Plants, 2022
Chinese chestnut (Castanea mollissima Bl.) is one of the earliest domesticated and cultivated fruit trees, and it is widely distributed in China. Because of the high quality of its nuts and its high resistance to abiotic and biotic stresses, Chinese ...

Genetic diversity and forensic characteristics of 15 autosomal short tandem repeats in Tibet highland and Guangdong lowland Han Chinese populations

Annals of Human Biology, 2019
Background: Much attention has been paid to the genetic variants of microsatellites in East Asian populations; however, genetic diversity of high-altitude adaptation in Tibet Han remains largely uncharacterised.

Forensic efficiency evaluation of a novel multiplex panel of InDels and STRs in the Guizhou Han population and its phylogenetic relationships with other reference populations

Annals of Human Biology, 2023
Background Insertion/deletion polymorphism (InDel), as the third genetic marker, has been given a lot of attention by forensic geneticists since it has the advantages of extensive distributions in the human genome, small amplicon, and low mutation rate ...

Uniparental Genetic Analyses Reveal Multi-Ethnic Background of Dunhuang Foyemiaowan Population (220–907 CE) With Typical Han Chinese Archaological Culture

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
The relationship between archeological culture and ethnicity is invariably complex. This is especially the case for periods of national division and rapid inter-ethnic exchange, such as China’s Sixteen Kingdoms (304–439 CE) and Northern and Southern ...

Evaluating the transferability of Hapmap SNPs to a Singapore Chinese population

BMC Genetics, 2010
Background The International Hapmap project serves as a valuable resource for human genome variation data, however its applicability to other populations has yet to be exhaustively investigated.

Genome-wide analysis of unrecognised ethnic group Chuanqing people revealing a close affinity with Southern Han Chinese

Annals of Human Biology, 2020
Background Chuanqing is an unrecognised ethnic group in Guizhou, southwest China. The genetic history of the Chuanqing people is hotly debated due to a lack of available genetic data.

Islam in China: Uyghurs in Crisis [PDF]

, 2020
Islam has been in China for hundreds of years and has been the religion to ten people groups in China, including the Uyghur people group. The Uyghurs have been under China’s domain since the mid-1700s and since then have stood out among the fifty-five ...

Localization of adaptive variants in human genomes using averaged one-dependence estimation. [PDF]

, 2018
Statistical methods for identifying adaptive mutations from population genetic data face several obstacles: assessing the significance of genomic outliers, integrating correlated measures of selection into one analytic framework, and distinguishing ...
