Genomics can reveal essential features about the demographic evolution of a population
that may not be apparent from historical elements. In recent years, there has been a …

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) …

The accurate description of ancestry is essential to interpret, access, and integrate human
genomics data, and to ensure that these benefit individuals from all ancestral backgrounds …

The possibility of voyaging contact between prehistoric Polynesian and Native American
populations has long intrigued researchers. Proponents have pointed to the existence of …

Motivation: A series of methods in population genetics use multilocus genotype data to
assign individuals membership in latent clusters. These methods belong to a broad class of …

Historical records and genetic analyses indicate that Latin Americans trace their ancestry
mainly to the intermixing (admixture) of Native Americans, Europeans and Sub-Saharan …

Native Americans from the Amazon, Andes, and coastal geographic regions of South
America have a rich cultural heritage but are genetically understudied, therefore leading to …

Abstract The African Diaspora in the Western Hemisphere represents one of the largest
forced migrations in history and had a profound impact on genetic diversity in modern …

Local ancestry is the source ancestry at each point in the genome of an admixed individual.
Inferred local ancestry is used for admixture map** and population genetic analyses. We …
