Robustness of the inference of human population structure: A comparison of X-chromosomal and autosomal microsatellites

<p>Abstract</p> <p>In this paper, data on 20 X-chromosomal microsatellite polymorphisms from the HGDP-CEPH cell line panel are used to infer human population structure. Inferences from these data are compared to those obtained from autosomal microsatellites. Some of the major featu...
