3321 European Ancestry as a Risk Factor for Atrial Fibrillation in Puerto Rican Hispanics
Journal of Clinical and Translational Science, 2019 OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: Consequently, we have decided to evaluate the presence of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) previously associated with AF on a European-descent population in an attempt to first identify the most common loci present in the ...

Legofit: estimating population history from genetic data
BMC Bioinformatics, 2019 Background Our current understanding of archaic admixture in humans relies on statistical methods with large biases, whose magnitudes depend on the sizes and separation times of ancestral populations.

Subspecies hybridization as a potential conservation tool in species reintroductions
Evolutionary Applications, 2021 Reintroductions are a powerful tool for the recovery of endangered species. However, their long‐term success is strongly influenced by the genetic diversity of the reintroduced population.

Evolutionary associations between sand seatrout (Cynoscion arenarius) and silver seatrout (C. nothus) inferred from morphological characters, mitochondrial DNA, and microsatellite markers [PDF]
, 2009 The evolutionary associations between closely related fish species, both contemporary and historical, are frequently assessed by using molecular markers, such as microsatellites.

Laboratory colonisation and genetic bottlenecks in the tsetse fly Glossina pallidipes [PDF]
, 2014 Background The IAEA colony is the only one available for mass rearing of Glossina pallidipes, a vector of human and animal African trypanosomiasis in eastern Africa. This colony is the source for Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) programs in East Africa.

Admixture estimates for the population of Havana City
Annals of Human Biology, 2009 The Cuban population is essentially a result of the admixture between Spanish, West African and, to a lesser degree, Amerindian tribes that inhabited the island.The study analysed the genetic structure of the three principal ethnic groups from Havana City, and the contribution of parental populations to its genetic pool.According to genealogical ...

The variance of identity-by-descent sharing in the Wright-Fisher model
, 2013 Widespread sharing of long, identical-by-descent (IBD) genetic segments is a hallmark of populations that have experienced recent genetic drift. Detection of these IBD segments has recently become feasible, enabling a wide range of applications from ...

Genome-wide signatures of population bottlenecks and diversifying selection in European wolves [PDF]
, 2013 Genomic resources developed for domesticated species provide powerful tools for studying the evolutionary history of their wild relatives. Here we use 61K single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) evenly spaced throughout the canine nuclear genome to ...

European and Polynesian admixture in the Norfolk Island population [PDF]
Heredity, 2009 The Norfolk Island population in the South Pacific is primarily the product of recent admixture between a small number of British male and Polynesian female founders. We identified and genotyped 128 Ancestry Informative Markers (AIMs) spread across the autosomes, X/Y chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA genome, to explore and quantify the current levels ...

Selection and environmental adaptation along a path to speciation in the Tibetan frog Nanorana parkeri. [PDF]
, 2018 Tibetan frogs, Nanorana parkeri, are differentiated genetically but not morphologically along geographical and elevational gradients in a challenging environment, presenting a unique opportunity to investigate processes leading to speciation. Analyses of
