A comparative ancestry analysis of Y-chromosome DNA haplogroups using high resolution melting
Burrows, Adria Michelle (University of the Western Cape, 2018)The objective of this study is to deduce paternal ancestry using ancestry informative single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) by means of High Resolution Melting (HRM). This was completed by producing a multiplex system that ... -
A dual analysis of the South African Griqua population using ancestry informative mitochondrial DNA and discriminatory short tandem repeats on the Y chromosome
Heynes, Kirstie (University of the Western Cape, 2015)The primary objective of this Masters project was to investigate the maternal ancient substructure of the Griqua population in South Africa. Genetic ancestry was determined by investigating ancestry informative single ... -
Forensic identification of six of Tanzanian populations using the extended haplotype markers
Mwema, Hadija Saidi (University of the Western Cape, 2011)The aim of the present study was to evaluate the power of discrimination and genetic (diversity) parameters in the Y chromosome extended haploytpe markers in populations of Tanzania for forensic and populations studies. ... -
Genetic analysis of mitochondrial DNA within Southern African populations.
Brecht, Gadean (UWC, 2020)As human beings we are curious about our origin and ancestry. A curiosity has led to an investigation of human evolution and expansion across the world by means of population genetics and phylo-genetics by evaluating a ... -
Y-STR profiling of four South African populations using the University of the Western Cape 10 locus set
Tsiana, Kebareng Jacobeth (University of the Western Cape, 2015)In this study the 10 Y-specific loci of the University of the Western Cape (DYS710, DYS518 385a/b, DYS644, DYS612, DYS626, DYS504, DYS447, DYS447, and DYS481) were analysed in 492 individuals from South African population ...
