Genetic diversity and phylogenetic structure of four Tibeto ‐Burman‐speaking populations in Tibetan‐Yi corridor revealed by insertion/deletion polymorphisms

ConclusionThese 30 loci can be regarded as an efficient genetic tool in forensic individual identification and as a supplementary tool in paternity testing in Dujiangyan Tibetan, Muli Tibetan, Xichang Yi, and Yanyuan Mosuo. The genetic proximity between the four populations in the Tibetan ‐Yi corridor and other populations is strongly correlated with the linguistic origin and geographical distance.
