The genetic history of admixture across inner Eurasia [PDF]

Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2019
The indigenous populations of inner Eurasia-a huge geographic region covering the central Eurasian steppe and the northern Eurasian taiga and tundra-harbour tremendous diversity in their genes, cultures and languages. In this study, we report novel genome-wide data for 763 individuals from Armenia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Moldova, Mongolia, Russia ...

Inferring the population structure and admixture history of three Hmong-Mien-speaking Miao tribes from southwest China based on genome-wide SNP genotyping

Annals of Human Biology, 2021
Background Hmong-Mien speaking Miao, also called Hmong, is the sixth largest ethnic group in mainland China. However, the fine-scale genetic profiles and population history of Miao populations in southwest China, especially in Guizhou province, remain ...

The Genetic Structure and History of Africans and African Americans. [PDF]

, 2009
Africa is the source of all modern humans, but characterization of genetic variation and of relationships among populations across the continent has been enigmatic. We studied 121 African populations, four African American populations, and 60 non-African

eSMC: a statistical model to infer admixture events from individual genomics data

BMC Genomics, 2022
Background Inferring historical population admixture events yield essential insights in understanding a species demographic history. Methods are available to infer admixture events in demographic history with extant genetic data from multiple sources ...

Admixture mapping of genetic variants for uterine fibroids [PDF]

Journal of Human Genetics, 2015
Uterine leiomyoma (UL) are benign neoplasms arising from the smooth muscle cells of the uterus. One of the established risk factors for UL is African American ethnicity. Studies have consistently shown that African Americans have two to three times higher risk compared with that of non-Hispanic Whites.

Dissecting the within-Africa ancestry of populations of African descent in the Americas. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
The ancestry of African-descended Americans is known to be drawn from three distinct populations: African, European, and Native American. While many studies consider this continental admixture, few account for the genetically distinct sources of ancestry

Fine-grained habitat-associated genetic connectivity in an admixed population of mussels in the small isolated Kerguelen Islands

Peer Community Journal, 2021
Reticulated evolution -i.e. secondary introgression / admixture between sister taxa-is increasingly recognized as playing a key role in structuring infra-specific genetic variation and revealing cryptic genetic connectivity patterns. When admixture zones

Enhanced methods for local ancestry assignment in sequenced admixed individuals. [PDF]

, 2014
Inferring the ancestry at each locus in the genome of recently admixed individuals (e.g., Latino Americans) plays a major role in medical and population genetic inferences, ranging from finding disease-risk loci, to inferring recombination rates, to ...
