Mitochondrial DNA variation of tai speaking peoples in Northern Thailand

The genetic structure and genetic affinity of Tai ethnic populations in northern Thailand has never been investigated, therefore their biological ancestor as well as their history is not clearly resolved. In this study, we examined the D-loop fragment of the mitochondrial DNA in 496 unrelated indivi...
