Genetic diversity, forensic characteristics and phylogenetic analysis of the Qiongzhong aborigines residing in the tropical rainforests of Hainan Island via 19 autosomal STRs by Fenfen Wang, Zhengming Du, Bingbing Han, Shengping Cao, Fangshu Fu, Zhenming Luo, Ziqing Mu, Jirui Chen, Pingming Qiu, Haoliang Fan

“…Conclusion Our phylogenetic results demonstrated that (a) the populations of Southeast Asian countries have thorough integrations with southern China in terms of ethnicity and genetics due to long-term cultural and trade exchanges, and (b) based on genetic and linguistic analysis, the Qiongzhong aborigines have a close relationship with Fujian Han Chinese.Highlights The STR landscape of Qiongzhong aborigines inhabited in Hainan tropical rainforests was depicted by 19 autosomal STRs. A total of 69,132 people from forty-five populations were selected for a more extensive examination of genetic similarities and differences by multivariate statistical methods (MDS, PCA and N-J tree construction). …”
