The Genetic Diversity of the Americas
(Annual Reviews, 2017)
The history of the Americas involved the encounter of millions of Native Americans, Europeans, and Africans. A variable admixture of these three continental groups has taken place throughout the continent, influenced by ...
A global reference for human genetic variation
(Springer Nature, 2015)
The 1000 Genomes Project set out to provide a comprehensive description of common human genetic variation by applying whole-genome sequencing to a diverse set of individuals from multiple populations. Here we report ...
Comment on "Genetic variants and source of introduction of SARS-CoV-2 in South America"
(Wiley, 2020)
I read with great interest a recent study by Poterico and Mestanza who described mutations in 30 SARS‐CoV‐2 genomes from South American countries (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru). Next‐generation ...
The Simons Genome Diversity Project: 300 genomes from 142 diverse populations
(Springer Nature, 2016)
Here we report the Simons Genome Diversity Project data set: high quality genomes from 300 individuals from 142 diverse populations. These genomes include at least 5.8 million base pairs that are not present in the human ...
Chromosomal copy number variation reveals differential levels of genomic plasticity in distinct Trypanosoma cruzi strains
(BioMed Central, 2015)
Background: Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiologic agent of Chagas disease, is currently divided into six discrete typing units (DTUs), named TcI-TcVI. CL Brener, the reference strain of the T. cruzi genome project, is a hybrid ...
Changes in Genetic Diversity from Field to Laboratory During Colonization of Anopheles darlingi Root (Diptera: Culicidae)
(American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2015)
The process of colonizing any arthropod species, including vector mosquitoes, necessarily involves adaptation to laboratory conditions. The adaptation and evolution of colonized mosquito populations needs consideration ...
Genetic diversity of Nyssorhynchus (Anopheles) darlingi related to biting behavior in western Amazon
(BioMed Central, 2019)
BACKGROUND: In the Amazon Basin, Nyssorhynchus (Anopheles) darlingi is the most aggressive and effective malaria vector. In endemic areas, behavioral aspects of anopheline vectors such as host preference, biting time and ...
Admixture in Latin America: geographic structure, phenotypic diversity and self-perception of ancestry based on 7,342 individuals
(Public Library of Science, 2014)
The current genetic makeup of Latin America has been shaped by a history of extensive admixture between Africans, Europeans and Native Americans, a process taking place within the context of extensive geographic and social ...
Canine echinococcosis: genetic diversity of Echinococcus granulosus sensu stricto (ss) from definitive hosts
(Cambridge University Press, 2015)
Canids, particularly dogs, constitute the major source of cystic echinococcosis (CE) infection to humans, with the majority of cases being caused by Echinococcus granulosus (G1 genotype). Canine echinococcosis is an ...
Bayesian inferences suggest that Amazon Yunga Natives diverged from Andeans less than 5000 ybp: Implications for South American prehistory
(BioMed Central, 2014)
Background: Archaeology reports millenary cultural contacts between Peruvian Coast-Andes and the Amazon Yunga, a rainforest transitional region between Andes and Lower Amazonia. To clarify the relationships between cultural ...
