Population admixture and high larval viability among urban toads

Ecology and Evolution, 2013
In terms of evolutionary biology, a population admixture of more than two distinct lineages may lead to strengthened genetic variation through hybridization.

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
AbstractThe 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.

Human genetic admixture through the lens of population genomics [PDF]

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Biological Sciences, 2021
Over the past 50 years, geneticists have made great strides in understanding how our species' evolutionary history gave rise to current patterns of human genetic diversity classically summarized by Lewontin in his 1972 paper, ‘The Apportionment of Human ...

Trans‐ethnic polygenic risk scores for body mass index: An international hundred K+ cohorts consortium study

Clinical and Translational Medicine, 2023
Background While polygenic risk scores hold significant promise in estimating an individual's risk of developing a complex trait such as obesity, their application in the clinic has, to date, been limited by a lack of data from non‐European populations ...

Genomic insights into the genetic structure and population history of Mongolians in Liaoning Province

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
The Mongolian population exceeds six million and is the largest population among the Mongolic speakers in China. However, the genetic structure and admixture history of the Mongolians are still unclear due to the limited number of samples and lower ...

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 ...

Male-Dominated Migration and Massive Assimilation of Indigenous East Asians in the Formation of Muslim Hui People in Southwest China

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
The origin and diversification of Muslim Hui people in China via demic or simple cultural diffusion is a long-going debate. We here generated genome-wide data at nearly 700,000 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from 45 Hui and 14 Han Chinese ...
