Abstract:
It is known that Island Southeast Asia was colonised relatively early in the history of modem humans; however, it is still a matter of some debate as to whether the modem inhabitants of Island Southeast Asia are descended from these original inhabitants or are the result of some later migration. Currently, the prevailing theory in both archaeology and linguistics is that the modem inhabitants of Island Southeast Asia are largely descended from an agricultural people who originated in China and Taiwan around 6,000 years ago. From there they are thought to have migrated through the Philippines a

Abstract:
Genetic variation in natural populations of four species of swans (Cygnus bewickii, Cygnus olor, Cygnus buccinator and Cygnus cygnus) has been investigated by examining minisatellite loci using human DNA fingerprinting probes pSPT19.6 and pSPT18.15. It has been found that swan minisatellites are highly variable. However, the degree of variation depends on the population structure and species. Bewick's Swans at Slimbridge have the highest degree of minisatellite variation, Whooper Swans at Caerlaverock come second, and then Mute Swans, and Trumpeter Swans in Montana.

Phase variation is mechanism of phenotypic switching used by many pathogenic bacterial species. This thesis describes work on three aspects of phase variation. Mathematical models are described which can be used to determine the rate of phase variation and subsequently the influence of variation rate and fitness differences associated with the altered phenotype on population structure. An approach to whole genome analysis has been developed which has been used to identify putative phase variable contingency genes in H. pylori, T. pallidum and N. meningitidis. This has identified many new conti

Whilst it is commonly accepted that transposable elements can generate genetic variation, the significance of this for the maintenance and dissemination of such elements is controversial.

Consistent with a temperature-specific adaptive role for some insertions, several are apparently found at higher frequency in lines at one temperature. Further characterisation of

DNA methylation marks regulate gene expression and genome structure. Stability and dynamics of DNA methylation patterns are influenced by four major factors including de novo methylation, maintenance methylation, passive loss of methylation and active demethylation. Maintenance methylation functions are still well conserved among plants and animals, which separated more than 1.5 billion years ago. In contrast, demethylation mechanisms differ considerably among plants and mammals. Interfering with DNA methylation and demethylation systems could be a source of heritable epigenetic variation if D

Morphometric, karyological and historical evidence indicates that Caithness and Orkney House mice (Mus.domesticus Rutty) are genetically distinct from other British mice, suggesting they are descended from introductions.

Thus, mtDNA RFLPs can be used for analysing possible patterns of colonisation and gene flow in these populations. Highly purified mtDNA was isolated from each mouse and mapped, using the high

The study of natural variation is a principle component of biology. One process that affects levels of natural variation is meiotic recombination—the process by which homologous chromosomes break and interchange genetic information with one another during the formation of gametes. Surprisingly, this factor that shapes levels of natural variation across the genome itself presents with a great deal of variation. That variation manifests itself at many levels: within genomes, between individual organisms, across populations, and among species. The factors and mechanisms responsible for the non-ra

The success of SCT was monitored by measuring the allelic ratios of informative SNPs in follow-up samples from nine patients with leukaemia.

Abstract Mitochondria contain a maternally inherited 16,568bp genome (mtDNA) that encodes for 13 out of more than 70 subunits of complexes of the respiratory chain that produce ATP by oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). As a byproduct of OXPHOS, reactive oxygen species (ROS) are formed, which may play a role in ageing. MtDNA has accumulated numerous polymorphisms during evolution, leading to haplogroups characterized by ancient polymorphisms and defined by letters.
