Abstract

Taq I polymorphism revealed after molecular hybridization with the Y-specific p49 probe was studied in male Papuas, Baruya tribe, living in the Wonenara valley. All individuals screened were identical at the variable loci A, C, F and I, and fixed for the specific allele Db. The deduced haplotype, number 17 (A2, C0, Db, F1, I1) is Baruya-specific.
