Abstract

Xi'an is the most populous city in Northwest China, in which most residents are Han Chinese. In this study, we analyzed genetic distributions of 23 Y-STR loci in Xi'an Han population and evaluated genetic affinities between Xi'an Han population and other reference populations based on the PowerPlex® Y23 System.

Keywords: Genetic diversity; Han; Multidimensional scaling; Xi’an; Y-STR.
