| Abstract |
Haplotype diversity for 23 Y chromosomal short tandem repeat (Y-STR) loci included in the PowerPlex(®) Y23 System was analyzed in the Chinese Gelao minority group of 234 unrelated males living in Daozhen Gelao-Miao Autonomous County in Guizhou Province, southwest China. A total of 216 different haplotypes were detected, of which 199 haplotypes were unique. The overall haplotype diversity (HD) and discrimination capacity (DC) were 0.9996 and 0.9231, respectively. The gene diversity (GD) ranged from 0.4159 (DYS438) to 0.9650 (DYS385a/b). The haplotype frequencies varied from 0.0043 to 0.0128. The population data presented here showed high genetic polymorphism and extraordinary discriminatory power in the studied population. Population difference was observed between the Chinese Gelao ethnicity and 42 populations out of overall 59 neighboring populations in Asia region. Both multidimensional scaling (MDS) and the phylogenetic tree demonstrated that the genetic structure affinity and differentiation with Chinese Gelao ethnicity were identified in those populations geographically adjacent (Hunan Han) and distant (Chinese Tibetan), respectively. In conclusion, our study enriched the Chinese ethnic genetic information and could be used as a powerful tool in forensic genetics for male testing, paternal lineage analysis, and Gelao ethnic population evolutionary studies. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 17 October 2018.
All research outputs
#7,484,444
of 23,008,860 outputs
Outputs from International Journal of Legal Medicine
#391
of 2,084 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#145,332
of 431,641 outputs
Outputs of similar age from International Journal of Legal Medicine
#12
of 61 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,008,860 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 67th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,084 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.6. This one has done well, scoring higher than 81% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 431,641 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 66% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 61 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 80% of its contemporaries.
