摘要
Genetic variation records a large amount of information about the history of a species and about the processes that create and shape that variation. Owing to the way in which it is inherited, the X chromosome is a rich resource of easily accessible genetic data, and therefore provides a unique tool for population-genetic studies. The potential of the human X chromosome, which rivals that of the more traditional mtDNA and Y chromosome, has only just begun to be tapped.
