Genetic admixture and cardiovascular disease risk in postmenopausal Hispanic women. [PDF]
Int J Cardiol, 2022 BACKGROUND: Hispanics are a heterogeneous population with differences in the prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and its related risk factors among ethnic sub-groups.

Estimation of genetic admixture proportions via haplotypes. [PDF]
Comput Struct Biotechnol J, 2023 Abstract Estimation of ethnic admixture is essential for creating personal genealogies, studying human history, and conducting genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Three methods exist for estimating admixture coefficients. The frequentist approach directly maximizes the binomial loglikelihood.

Eurasian back-migration into Northeast Africa was a complex and multifaceted process.
PLoS ONE, 2023 Recent studies have identified Northeast Africa as an important area for human movements during the Holocene. Eurasian populations have moved back into Northeastern Africa and contributed to the genetic composition of its people. By gathering the largest

Evolutionary Genetics and Admixture in African Populations
Genome Biology and Evolution, 2023 Abstract As the ancestral homeland of our species, Africa contains elevated levels of genetic diversity and substantial population structure. Importantly, African genomes are heterogeneous: They contain mixtures of multiple ancestries, each of which have experienced different evolutionary histories.

Genetic Origins and Sex-Biased Admixture of the Huis [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2021 Abstract The Hui people are unique among Chinese ethnic minorities in that they speak the same language as Han Chinese (HAN) but practice Islam. However, as the second-largest minority group in China numbering well over 10 million, the Huis are under-represented in both global and regional genomic studies.

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021 The evolutionary and admixture history of Han Chinese have been widely discussed via traditional autosomal and uniparental genetic markers [e.g., short tandem repeats, low-density single nucleotide polymorphisms).

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021 As a major part of the modern Trans-Eurasian or Altaic language family, most of the Mongolic and Tungusic languages were mainly spoken in northern China, Mongolia, and southern Siberia, but some were also found in southern China. Previous genetic surveys

Skin deep: The decoupling of genetic admixture levels from phenotypes that differed between source populations. [PDF]
Am J Phys Anthropol, 2021 OBJECTIVES: In genetic admixture processes, source groups for an admixed population possess distinct patterns of genotype and phenotype at the onset of admixture. Particularly in the context of recent and ongoing admixture, such differences are sometimes

Genetic evidence for archaic admixture in Africa [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2011 A long-debated question concerns the fate of archaic forms of the genus Homo : did they go extinct without interbreeding with anatomically modern humans, or are their genes present in contemporary populations? This question is typically focused on the genetic contribution of archaic forms outside of Africa.

Evaluation of group genetic ancestry of populations from Philadelphia and Dakar in the context of sex-biased admixture in the Americas. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 Population history can be reflected in group genetic ancestry, where genomic variation captured by the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and non-recombining portion of the Y chromosome (NRY) can separate female- and male-specific admixture processes.
