Sex-biased demography, in which parameters governing migration and population size
differ between females and males, has been studied through comparisons of X …

A general introduction to the origins and history of Latin American populations is followed by
a systematic review of the data from molecular autosomal assessments of the …

We investigated the bio‐geographic ancestry of Argentineans, and quantified their genetic
admixture, analyzing 246 unrelated male individuals from eight provinces of three …

The effect of gene flow on Hispanic populations from different geographic regions of the
United States was analyzed using six autosomal DNA markers (LDLR, GYPA, HBGG, D7S8 …

Markers with large differences in allele frequencies between ethnicities provide ancestry
information that can be applied to genetic studies. We identified over 100 biallelic ancestry …

Mapping by admixture linkage disequilibrium (MALD) is a potentially powerful technique for
the mapping of complex genetic diseases. The practical requirements of this method include …

We have analyzed and compared mitochondrial DNA variation of populations from the Near
East and Africa and found a very high frequency of African lineages present in the Yemen …

We have analyzed 10 unlinked microsatellites and a linked Alu deletion polymorphism at the
CD4 locus in an African American population sample from Chicago (USA). Heterozygosity …

Recent studies of the Uruguayan population revealed different amounts of Amerindian and
African genetic contributions. Our previous analysis of Afro‐Uruguayans from the capital city …

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 …
