Abstract San Basilio de Palenque is an Afro-descendant community near Cartagena, Colombia, founded in the sixteenth century. The recognition of historical and cultural importance has promoted several studies, namely concerning African roots its first inhabitants. To deepen knowledge origin diversity parental lineages, we analysed a sample 81 individuals for entire mtDNA Control Region as well 92 27 Y-STRs 95 51 Y-SNPs. results confirmed strong isolation Palenque, with some degree influx...
Despite their ancient past and high diversity, African populations are the least represented in human population genetic studies. In this study, uniparental markers (mtDNA Y chromosome) were used to investigate impact of sociocultural factors on diversity inter-ethnolinguistic gene flow three major Nigerian groups: Hausa (n = 89), Yoruba 135) Igbo 134). The results show a distinct history from maternal paternal perspectives. groups present similar substrate for mtDNA, but not chromosome. two...
