What’s at stake? Determining indigeneity in the era of DIY DNA
New Genetics and Society, 2019 Social scientists have found that direct-to-consumer genetic ancestry testing can increase the influence of genetic notions of identity, but has a varying effect on test takers depending on the individual, social and political context.

Softwares and methods for estimating genetic ancestry in human populations
Human Genomics, 2013 The estimation of genetic ancestry in human populations has important applications in medical genetic studies. Genetic ancestry is used to control for population stratification in genetic association studies, and is used to understand the genetic basis ...

Genetic ancestries in northwest Cambodia
Annals of Human Biology, 2006 A survey of the genetic ancestry of 125 Cambodian children resident in Siem Reap province was undertaken, based on eight Y-chromosome binary polymorphisms and sequencing of the mtDNA HV1 region. The data indicated a largely East Asian paternal ancestry and a local Southeast Asian maternal ancestry.

The molecular genetics of European ancestry [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 1999 In an earlier paper we proposed, on the basis of mitochondrial control region variation, that the bulk of modern European mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) diversity had its roots in the European Upper Palaeolithic. Refining the mtDNA phylogeny and enlarging the sample size both within Europe and the Middle East still support this interpretation and indicate ...

Phenotypic variance explained by local ancestry in admixed African Americans
Frontiers in Genetics, 2015 We surveyed 26 quantitative traits and disease outcomes to understand the proportion of phenotypic variance explained by local ancestry in admixed African Americans. After inferring local ancestry as the number of African-ancestry chromosomes at hundreds

Genetic ancestry of patients with porphyria cutanea tarda in a country with mixed races: a cross-sectional study (Rio de Janeiro - Brazil) [PDF]
Anais Brasileiros de Dermatologia, 2018 : Porphyria cutanea tarda has a complex etiology with genetic factors not completely elucidated. The miscegenation of the Brazilian population has important implications in the predisposition to diseases.

The Ancestry of Genetic Segments
ISRN Biomathematics, 2012 Recombination within a DNA segment during the neutral fixation process is studied to determine the number of individuals in previous generations which carry genetic material ancestral to that region in the present generation. If , where is the population size and is the probability of a recombination event within that region per individual in a ...
