Native American admixture in the Quebec founder population. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 For years, studies of founder populations and genetic isolates represented the mainstream of genetic mapping in the effort to target genetic defects causing Mendelian disorders.

Interethnic admixture and the evolution of Latin American populations [PDF]
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2014 A general introduction to the origins and history of Latin American populations is followed by a systematic review of the data from molecular autosomal assessments of the ethnic/continental (European, African, Amerindian) ancestries for 24 Latin American

Indigenous ancestry and admixture in the Uruguayan population [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2021 Abstract The Amerindian group known as the Charrúas inhabited Uruguay at the timing of European colonial contact. Even though they were extinguished as an ethnic group as a result of a genocide, Charrúan heritage is part of the Uruguayan identity both culturally and genetically.

Population admixture in Chinese and European Sus scrofa. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2017 AbstractRelationships between different populations were investigated using Porcine 60 K data from 1,135 domestic pigs and wild boars across Europe and China. The results indicate that most European breeds have been introgressed with Chinese ancestry, but the extent of introgression varies considerably among breeds.

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.

Discovery of Genomic Characteristics and Selection Signatures in Southern Chinese Local Cattle
Frontiers in Genetics, 2020 Chinese local cattle with a high level of genetic diversity mainly originate from two subspecies; the cattle in northern China are primarily Bos Taurus, and the cattle in southern China are primarily Bos indicus.
