Genetic Evidence for an East Asian Origin of Domestic Dogs
- P. Savolainen, Y. Zhang, J. Luo, J. Lundeberg, T. Leitner
- Biology, Medicine
- Science
- 22 November 2002
The origin of the domestic dog from wolves has been established, but the number of founding events, as well as where and when these occurred, is not known. To address these questions, we examined the… Expand
Phylogeographic differentiation of mitochondrial DNA in Han Chinese.
- Y. Yao, Qingpeng Kong, H. Bandelt, T. Kivisild, Y. Zhang
- Biology, Medicine
- American journal of human genetics
- 1 March 2002
To characterize the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variation in Han Chinese from several provinces of China, we have sequenced the two hypervariable segments of the control region and the segment spanning… Expand
Multiple maternal origins of chickens: out of the Asian jungles.
- Yi-Ping Liu, Gui-Sheng Wu, +7 authors Y. Zhang
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular phylogenetics and evolution
- 2006
Domestic chickens have long been important to human societies for food, religion, entertainment, and decorative uses, yet the origins and phylogeography of chickens through Eurasia remain uncertain.… Expand
Evidence of positive selection acting at the human dopamine receptor D4 gene locus
- Y. Ding, H. Chi, +9 authors R. Moyzis
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences…
- 26 December 2001
Associations have been reported of the seven-repeat (7R) allele of the human dopamine receptor D4 (DRD4) gene with both attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and the personality trait of novelty… Expand
Updating the East Asian mtDNA phylogeny: a prerequisite for the identification of pathogenic mutations.
- Qingpeng Kong, H. Bandelt, +9 authors Y. Zhang
- Biology, Medicine
- Human molecular genetics
- 1 July 2006
Knowledge about the world phylogeny of human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is essential not only for evaluating the pathogenic role of specific mtDNA mutations but also for performing reliable… Expand
Different matrilineal contributions to genetic structure of ethnic groups in the silk road region in china.
- Y. Yao, Qingpeng Kong, Cheng-ye Wang, C. Zhu, Y. Zhang
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular biology and evolution
- 1 December 2004
Previous studies have shown that there were extensive genetic admixtures in the Silk Road region. In the present study, we analyzed 252 mtDNAs of five ethnic groups (Uygur, Uzbek, Kazak, Mongolian,… Expand
Phylogeny of mitochondrial DNA macrohaplogroup N in India, based on complete sequencing: implications for the peopling of South Asia.
- M. Palanichamy, C. Sun, +7 authors Y. Zhang
- Biology, Medicine
- American journal of human genetics
- 1 December 2004
To resolve the phylogeny of the autochthonous mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroups of India and determine the relationship between the Indian and western Eurasian mtDNA pools more precisely, a… Expand
mtDNA Data Indicate a Single Origin for Dogs South of Yangtze River, Less Than 16,300 Years Ago, from Numerous Wolves
- Jun-feng Pang, Cornelya F. C. Klütsch, +11 authors P. Savolainen
- Medicine, Biology
- Molecular biology and evolution
- 1 September 2009
There is no generally accepted picture of where, when, and how the domestic dog originated. Previous studies of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) have failed to establish the time and precise place of origin… Expand
