Self-declared ethnicity and genomic ancestry in prostate cancer patients from Brazil
(Funpec-editora, 2016-01-01)
Some studies of polymorphisms in prostate cancer (PCa) analyze individuals in a uniform manner, regardless of genetic ancestry. However, PCa aggressiveness differs between subjects of African descent and those of European ...
Development of a panel of genome-wide ancestry informative markers to study admixture throughout the americas
(Public Library of Science, 2012)
Most individuals throughout the Americas are admixed descendants of Native American, European, and African ancestors. Complex historical factors have resulted in varying proportions of ancestral contributions between ...
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 ...
Variation in dental morphology and inference of continental ancestry in admixed Latin Americans
(Wiley, 2018)
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the variation in dental nonmetric traits and to evaluate the utility of this variation for inferring genetic ancestry proportions in a sample of admixed Latin Americans. MATERIALS AND METHODS: ...
Color, Race, and Genomic Ancestry in Brazil: Dialogues between Anthropology and Genetics
(University of Chicago Press, 2019)
Unsupervised detection of ancestry tracks with the GHap r package
(2020-01-01)
The identification of ancestry tracks is a powerful tool to assist the inference of evolutionary events in the genomes of animals and plants. However, algorithms for ancestry track detection typically require labelled ...
Genomic ancestry and ethnoracial self-classification based on 5,871 community-dwelling Brazilians (The Epigen Initiative)
(Macmillan Publishers, 2015)
Brazil never had segregation laws defining membership of an ethnoracial group. Thus, the composition of the Brazilian population is mixed, and its ethnoracial classification is complex. Previous studies showed conflicting ...
The impact of socioeconomic and phenotypic traits on self‑perception of ethnicity in Latin America
(Nature, 2021)
Self-perception of ethnicity is a complex social trait shaped by both, biological and non-biological
factors. We developed a comprehensive analysis of ethnic self-perception (ESP) on a large sample of
Latin American ...
Genomic ancestry, CYP2D6, CYP2C9 and CYP2C19 among Latin-Americans
(Wiley, 2019)
We present the distribution of CYP2D6, CYP2C9 and CYP2C19 variants and predicted phenotypes in 33 native and admixed populations from Ibero-America (n>6,000) in the context of genetic ancestry (n=3,387). Continental ...
