Abstract

Objective: To study the genetic relationship among 14 populations. Methods: The data of the three STR on other twelve populations (three Hans, two Hui, Li, Yi, Yao, Zhuang, Jingpo, Dai and Tibetan) were collected, and the genetic similarity coefficient and genetic distances among the fourteen populations were calculated, and the data of the three STR on Xibo and Kazak were reported by us. Phylogenetic trees based on the genetic distances were established. Results: The results showed the fourteen populations were divided into two clusters. Kazak was involved in an identical cluster, and other thirteen populations in another. Conclusion: Our result is consistent with historical data in the ethnic origin.
