Duplex PCR for Human Sex Typing
55
Mobile elements serve as “genomic fossils” of human ancestral lineages.
56
Human Population Biology and Investigative Forensics
1. Since the dispersal from Africa, mobile elements have continued to expand in the human genome. 2. Many elements are polymorphic and occur at high/low frequencies in human populations. 3. These elements can be exploited to examine human population history. 4. Display-based PCR methods can be used to “extract” recent, population-indicative elements.
