Because modern humans originated in Africa and have adapted to diverse environments,
African populations have high levels of genetic and phenotypic diversity. Thus, genomic …

The identification of the genetic structure of populations from multilocus genotype data has
become a central component of modern population‐genetic data analysis. Application of …

Adherents to the Jewish faith have resided in numerous geographic locations over the
course of three millennia. Progressively more detailed population genetic analysis carried …

Contemporary Jews comprise an aggregate of ethno-religious communities whose
worldwide members identify with each other through various shared religious, historical and …

Abstract The Ashkenazi Jewish (AJ) population is a genetic isolate close to European and
Middle Eastern groups, with genetic diversity patterns conducive to disease map**. Here …

For more than a century, Jews and non-Jews alike have tried to define the relatedness of
contemporary Jewish people. Previous genetic studies of blood group and serum markers …

Over the past two decades, microsatellite genotypes have provided the data for landmark
studies of human population-genetic variation. However, the various microsatellite data sets …

The origin and history of the Ashkenazi Jewish population have long been of great interest,
and advances in high-throughput genetic analysis have recently provided a new approach …

The Ashkenazi Jewish (AJ) population has long been viewed as a genetic isolate, yet it is
still unclear how population bottlenecks, admixture, or positive selection contribute to its …

The initial contact of European populations with indigenous populations of the Americas
produced diverse admixture processes across North, Central, and South America. Recent …
