While South Americans are underrepresented in human genomic diversity studies, Brazil
has been a classical model for population genetics studies on admixture. We present the …

Based on pre-DNA racial/color methodology, clinical and pharmacological trials have
traditionally considered the different geographical regions of Brazil as being very …

Objectives This study aims at performing a systematic review and meta‐analysis with the
studies of genetic admixture inference of Brazilian population and to compare these results …

Most individuals throughout the Americas are admixed descendants of Native American,
European, and African ancestors. Complex historical factors have resulted in varying …

Abstract The Transatlantic Slave Trade transported more than 9 million Africans to the
Americas between the early 16th and the mid-19th centuries. We performed a genome-wide …

Abstract Salter-Townshend and Myers present an open source tool for modelling multi-way
admixture events using dense haplotype data. Their Hidden Markov Model approach is …

We review studies from our laboratories using different molecular tools to characterize the
Amerindian, European and African ancestry of Brazilians. Initially we used uniparental DNA …

Long-range migrations and the resulting admixtures between populations have been
important forces shaping human genetic diversity. Most existing methods for detecting and …

The population of Argentina is the result of the intermixing between several groups,
including Indigenous American, European and African populations. Despite the commonly …

Latin Americans arguably represent the largest recently admixed populations in the world.
This reflects a history of massive settlement by immigrants (mostly Europeans and Africans) …
