Background: Ancestry informative markers are regarded as useful tools for inferring the ancestral information of an individual, which have been widely used in the criminal investigations and population genetic studies. Previously, a multiplex amplification panel containing 39 AIM-InDel loci was constructed. This study aims to investigate the genetic polymorphisms of these 39 AIM-InDel loci in Yunnan Hani and Miao ethnic groups, and to uncover their genetic affinities with reference populations based on the AIM-InDel markers.
Materials and methods: In this research, 39 AIM-InDel profiles of 203 unrelated Miao individuals and 203 unrelated Hani individuals in Yunnan province of China were acquired. Additionally, we evaluated the genetic polymorphisms of 39 InDel loci in Yunnan Miao and Hani groups. Moreover, the genetic relationships among Yunnan Miao, Hani and reference populations were also clarified based on Nei's genetic distances, pairwise fixation indexes, principal component analyses, phylogenetic analyses, and STRUCTURE analyses.
Results: Genetic diversity analyses demonstrated that these InDel loci showed varying degrees of genetic polymorphisms, and could be utilized in forensic identifications in Yunnan Miao and Hani groups. The results of principal component analyses, phylogenetic analyses and Structure analyses revealed that Yunnan Miao and Hani groups had closer genetic relationships with East Asian populations, especially with the populations from Southern China. This research enriched the genetic data of Chinese ethnic minority, and provided ancestral information of Yunnan Miao and Hani groups from the perspective of population genetics.

A controversy arose over Mendel's pea crossing experiments after the statistician R.A. Fisher proposed how these may have been performed and criticised Mendel's interpretation of his data. Here we re-examine Mendel's experiments and investigate Fisher's statistical criticisms of bias. We describe pea varieties available in Mendel's time and show that these could readily provide all the material Mendel needed for his experiments; the characters he chose to follow were clearly described in catalogues at the time. The combination of character states available in these varieties, together with Eichling's report of crosses Mendel performed, suggest that two of his F3 progeny test experiments may have involved the same F2 population, and therefore that these data should not be treated as independent variables in statistical analysis of Mendel's data. A comprehensive re-examination of Mendel's segregation ratios does not support previous suggestions that they differ remarkably from expectation. The χ2 values for his segregation ratios sum to a value close to the expectation and there is no deficiency of extreme segregation ratios. Overall the χ values for Mendel's segregation ratios deviate slightly from the standard normal distribution; this is probably because of the variance associated with phenotypic rather than genotypic ratios and because Mendel excluded some data sets with small numbers of progeny, where he noted the ratios "deviate not insignificantly" from expectation.
