Genetic ancestry and ethnic identity in Ecuador
Human Genetics and Genomics Advances, 2021 We investigated the ancestral origins of four Ecuadorian ethnic groups-Afro-Ecuadorian, Mestizo, Montubio, and the Indigenous Tsáchila-in an effort to gain insight on the relationship between ancestry, culture, and the formation of ethnic identities in Latin America.

Genetic ancestry and population structure in the All of Us Research Program cohort [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsWe analyzed participant genomic variant data to characterize population structure and genetic ancestry for the All of Us cohort (n = 297,549). There is substantial population structure in the cohort, with clusters of closely related participants ...

Power and Limitations of Inferring Genetic Ancestry. [PDF]
Ann Hum GenetABSTRACTBackgroundThe recent emergence of technologies that capture and analyse genetic variation patterns obtained from a person's DNA sample has led to numerous academic and commercial endeavours to infer individuals' ancestries. In theory, a person's genome contains a wealth of readily accessible information regarding their ancestors, despite only ...

A geographic history of human genetic ancestry. [PDF]
ScienceDescribing the distribution of genetic variation across individuals is a fundamental goal of population genetics. In humans, traditional approaches for describing population genetic variation often rely on discrete genetic ancestry labels, which, despite their utility, can obscure the complex, multifaceted nature of human genetic history.

Ancestry: How researchers use it and what they mean by it
Frontiers in Genetics, 2023 Background: Ancestry is often viewed as a more objective and less objectionable population descriptor than race or ethnicity. Perhaps reflecting this, usage of the term “ancestry” is rapidly growing in genetics research, with ancestry groups referenced ...

A method for an unbiased estimate of cross-ancestry genetic correlation using individual-level data
Nature Communications, 2023 Cross-ancestry genetic correlation can reveal differences in the genetic basis of traits between populations, but methods can be biased by ancestry-specific genetic architecture. Here, the authors present a method to for estimating cross-ancestry genetic
