Phylogenetic analysis of She population from Fujian Province in China based on 26 Y-STR Loci

The She people, with a population of about 710,000, are the largest minority in Fujian province. They live primarily in the mountainous areas of Fujian Province and also present in Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Anhui, Hunan and Taiwan. Currently, Y-STR analysis has well characterized and become an e...

Summary:The She people, with a population of about 710,000, are the largest minority in Fujian province. They live primarily in the mountainous areas of Fujian Province and also present in Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Anhui, Hunan and Taiwan. Currently, Y-STR analysis has well characterized and become an essential tool in forensic and population genetics. In the present study, we investigated genetic and phylogenetic relationship between the She population, which included 53 unrelated She males living in the Fujian Province and typed for 26 Y-STR loci, and 13 reference populations. We found that the She population has the closest relationship with the Miao population, followed by the populations from south China.
