A Genome-Wide Search for Greek and Jewish Admixture in the Kashmiri Population. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
The Kashmiri population is an ethno-linguistic group that resides in the Kashmir Valley in northern India. A longstanding hypothesis is that this population derives ancestry from Jewish and/or Greek sources.

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 ...

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.

Genetic Diversity and Low Stratification of the Population of the United Arab Emirates

Frontiers in Genetics, 2020
With high consanguinity rates on the Arabian Peninsula, it would not have been unexpected if the population of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) was shown to be relatively homogenous.

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.

Genetic diversity and population structure of sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] in Ethiopia as revealed by microsatellite markers

Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica. Section B, Soil and Plant Science, 2022
Ethiopia is the center of origin of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.). Understanding of the genetic diversity of the species is fundamental to design appropriate conservation and management strategies.

Population Genomics of Speciation and Admixture [PDF]

, 2018
The application of population genomics to the understanding of speciation has led to the emerging field of speciation genomics. This has brought new insight into how divergence builds up within the genome during speciation and is also revealing the extent to which species can continue to exchange genetic material despite reproductive barriers.
