For the new study, which is published today in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B, Bowman and his colleagues collected samples
from 38 L. mariae palms in Palm Valley and 100 L. rigida palms in the Roper, Nicholson, and Gregory rivers and compared the
microsatellite markers.
After extracting tiny amounts of ancient DNA
from the mummies» bones, the researchers amplified 16 short tandem repeats (short sequences in the DNA that create a genetic fingerprint) and eight polymorphic
microsatellites (hereditary molecular
markers) to testable quantities using techniques commonly employed in criminal or paternity investigations.
With the recent publication of a large data set of 763
microsatellite markers — short stretches of DNA that are repeated in the genome —
from 53 populations in the Human Genome Diversity Project, evolutionary geneticists William Amos and Joe Hoffman of the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom had enough genomic data to test both models.
The primary tumor location was an independent prognostic
marker in patients with RAS wild - type metastatic colorectal cancer after adjusting for age, gender, synchronous / metachronous disease, consensus molecular subtype, and
microsatellite instability and molecular status, according to the results of an analysis (abstract 3503) of data
from CALGB / SWOG 80405 presented at the 2017 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting.
No significant differences in genetic diversity were observed among populations by
microsatellite markers with HE ranging
from 0.597 to 0.612 and low, but significant, genetic differentiation among populations (FST = 0.019, P = 0.001).
