Investigation of Japanese-specific alleles: Most are of Jomon lineage

Investigation of Japanese-specific alleles: Most are of Jomon lineage

Highlights • Three SNPs suggested the existence of Japanese-specific alleles on autosomes. • Further study identified a total of 67 (nearly) Japanese-specific alleles. • DNA samples from Jomon skeletons were also investigated. • Most of those alleles were suggested to have originated from the Jomon...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • Three SNPs suggested the existence of Japanese-specific alleles on autosomes. • Further study identified a total of 67 (nearly) Japanese-specific alleles. • DNA samples from Jomon skeletons were also investigated. • Most of those alleles were suggested to have originated from the Jomon lineage. • These alleles would be useful as ancestry-informative markers.
