Estimating the proportions of different ancestries in admixed populations is very important population genetics studies, and it particularly for detecting substructure effects case-control association studies. In this work, a set 48 ancestry-informative insertion-deletion polymorphisms (INDELs) were selected with goal efficiently measuring three (sub-Saharan African, European, Native American) mixed populations. All markers can be easily analyzed via multiplex PCR detected standard capillary...
Ancestry-informative markers (AIMs) show high allele frequency divergence between different ancestral or geographically distant populations. These genetic are especially useful in inferring the likely origin of an individual estimating apportionment ancestry components admixed individuals The study AIMs is great interest clinical genetics research, particularly to detect and correct for population substructure effects case-control association studies, but also forensic studies. This work...
Abstract Human identification is usually based on the study of STRs or SNPs depending particular characteristics investigation. However, other types genetic variation such as insertion/deletion polymorphisms (indels) have considerable potential in field identification, since they can combine desirable both and SNPs. In this study, a set 38 non‐coding bi‐allelic autosomal indels reported to be polymorphic African, European, Asian populations were selected. We developed sensitive genotyping...
There are many different studies that contribute to the global picture of ethnic heterogeneity in Brazilian populations. These use types genetic markers and focused on comparison populations at levels. In some them, each geographical region is treated as a single homogeneous population, whereas other create subdivisions: political (e.g., pooling by State), demographic urban rural), or culture, self-declaration, skin colour). this study, we performed an enhanced reassessment ancestry ~ 1,300...
Historical records and genetic analyses indicate that Latin Americans trace their ancestry mainly to the intermixing (admixture) of Native Americans, Europeans Sub-Saharan Africans. Using novel haplotype-based methods, here we infer sub-continental in over 6,500 evaluate impact regional variation on physical appearance. We find American components correspond geographically present-day structure groups, sources non-Native ancestry, admixture timings, match documented migratory flows. also...
There are two very different interpretations of the prehistory Island Southeast Asia (ISEA), with genetic evidence invoked in support both. The "out-of-Taiwan" model proposes a major Late Holocene expansion Neolithic Austronesian speakers from Taiwan. An alternative, proposing that Glacial/postglacial sea-level rises triggered largely autochthonous dispersals, accounts for some otherwise enigmatic patterns, but fails to explain language dispersal. Combining mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA),...
Numerous studies of human populations in Europe and Asia have revealed a concordance between their extant genetic structure the prevailing regional pattern geography language. For native South Americans, however, such evidence has been lacking so far. Therefore, we examined relationship Y-chromosomal genotype on one hand, male geographic origin linguistic affiliation other, largest study American natives to date terms sampled individuals populations. A total 1,011 individuals, representing...
The value of the evidence depends critically on propositions. In second two papers intended to provide advice community difficult aspects evaluation and formulation propositions, we focus primarily activity level This helps court address question "How did an individual's cell material get there?". order do this, expand framework outlined in first companion paper. First, it is important not conflate results Statements given propositions aim help issues indirect vs direct transfer, time...
The ancestry of the Colombian population comprises a large number well differentiated Native communities belonging to diverse linguistic groups. In late fifteenth century, process admixture was initiated with arrival Europeans, and several years later, Africans also became part population. Therefore, genepool current results from Americans, Europeans Africans. This occurred differently in each region country, producing clearly stratified Considering importance substructure both clinical...
