Y-chromosome haplotype distribution in Han Chinese populations and modern human origin in East Asians

We investigated the distribution of Y-chromosome haplotype using 19 Y-SNPs in Han Chinese populations from 22 provinces of China. Our data indicate distinctive patterns of Y chromosome between southern and northern Han Chinese populations. The southern po

function definition language fdl and its implementation

A Function Definition Language (FDL) is presented. Though designed for describing specifications, FDL is also a general-purpose functional programming language. It uses context-free language as data type, supports pattern matching definition of functions, offers several function definition forms, and is executable. It is shown that FDL has strong expressiveness, is easy to use and describes algorithms concisely and naturally. An interpreter of FDL is introduced. Experiments and discussion are included.
