Latin Americans show wide-spread Converso ancestry and imprint of local Native ancestry on physical appearance
(Springer Nature, 2018)
Historical records and genetic analyses indicate that Latin Americans trace their ancestry mainly to the intermixing (admixture) of Native Americans, Europeans and Sub-Saharan Africans. Using novel haplotype-based methods, ...
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 ...
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: ...
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 ...
Phenotyping the ancient world: The physical appearance and ancestry of very degraded samples from a chalcolithic human remains
(Elsevier, 2017)
The genetic study of ancient samples is quite similar to a forensic critical sample analysis with an unknown origin. In both cases, it is not possible to compare the genetic information with other family members, being ...
Origin and dynamics of admixture in Brazilians and its effect on the pattern of deleterious mutations
(National Academy of Sciences, 2015)
While South Americans are underrepresented in human genomic diversity studies, Brazil has been a classical model for population genetics studies on admixture.We present the results of the EPIGEN Brazil Initiative, the most ...
Geografía génica de Chile. Distribución regional de los aportes genéticos americanos, europeos y africanos
(Sociedad Médica de Santiago, 2014)
Background: The geographical distribution of genes plays a key role in genetic epidemiology. The Chilean population has three major stem groups (Native American, European and African). Aim: To estimate the regional rate ...
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 ...
The phylogeographic diversity of EBV and admixed ancestry in the americas–another model of disrupted human-pathogen co-evolution
(MDPI AG, 2019)
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is an etiological agent for gastric cancer with significant worldwide variations. Molecular characterizations of EBV have shown phylogeographical variations among healthy populations and in ...
