A Genomewide Admixture Mapping Panel for Hispanic/Latino Populations [PDF]
The American Journal of Human Genetics, 2007 Admixture mapping (AM) is a promising method for the identification of genetic risk factors for complex traits and diseases showing prevalence differences among populations. Efficient application of this method requires the use of a genomewide panel of ancestry-informative markers (AIMs) to infer the population of origin of chromosomal regions in ...

Recent Admixture in an Indian Population of African Ancestry [PDF]
The American Journal of Human Genetics, 2011 Identification and study of genetic variation in recently admixed populations not only provides insight into historical population events but also is a powerful approach for mapping disease loci. We studied a population (OG-W-IP) that is of African-Indian origin and has resided in the western part of India for 500 years; members of this population are ...
