An Apportionment of African Genetic Diversity Based on Mitochondrial, Y Chromosomal, and X Chromosomal Data

In an effort to better understand patterns of genetic variation in modern African populations, I surveyed nucleotide variability at four loci in five diverse sub-Saharan African populations. First, I analyzed the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and the non-recombining portion of the Y chromosome (NRY), a...
