The paternal and maternal genetic history of Vietnamese populations

This study analyzes mtDNA and Y chromosome sequences from Vietnamese populations to reveal genetic diversity patterns not correlated with geography or language, highlighting isolation and limited contact as major factors.

Contrasting paternal and maternal genetic histories of Thai and Lao populations

The paper analyzes paternal and maternal genetic histories of Thai and Lao populations, finding contrasting patterns of male and female genetic variation and demographic expansions.

New insights from Thailand into the maternal genetic history of Mainland Southeast Asia

The paper analyzes additional mtDNA sequences from Thailand and Laos to explore the genetic history of Tai-Kadai and Sino-Tibetan-speaking populations in Mainland Southeast Asia, finding evidence for both demic diffusion and admixture.

Contrasting maternal and paternal genetic variation of hunter-gatherer groups in Thailand

The paper analyzes maternal and paternal genetic variation in Thai hunter-gatherer groups, finding distinct haplogroup patterns and suggesting a recent origin for the Mlabri population.

Refining the Y chromosome phylogeny with southern African sequences

This paper analyzes Y chromosome sequences from southern African populations to refine the human Y chromosome phylogeny, identifying new haplogroups and estimating older divergence dates.
