P5: Genetically defined metapopulations
Metapopulations are notoriously difficult to define in a straightforward manner. Sometimes it is done by ancestral characteristics (e.g. language).
Roewer et al. 2005 [PubMed] [DOI] and Andersen et al. 2014 [PubMed] [DOI] have demonstrated two different methods to perform cluster analysis on Y-STR data. In this project we aim to repeat such analyses with the aim of being able to define metapopulations entirely by the genetic information.
We apply for all available Y-STR profiles for the following four loci sets to investigate if some loci sets are better to define metapopulations than others:
- Low mutation rate loci: DYS438, DYS392, DYS393, DYS437, DYS643, DYS448, DYS390, DYS19
- Medium mutation rate loci: DYS481, DYS549, DYS456, DYS533, DYS635, DYS389I, YGATAH4, DYS391
- High mutation rate loci: DYS627, DYS576, DYS518, DYS449, DYS570, DYS458, DYS439, DYS460
- Half slow/half high mutation rate loci (four low and four high mutation rate loci)
