Admixture
Genetic diversity analyses of tropical goats from some countries of Middle East
Authors: R.M. Al-Atiyat
The genetic structure of 10 goat breeds from four countries of the Middle East and Horn of Africa was investigated at 17 microsatellite loci. The average allele number and richness were 9.65 and 5.78, respectively. The mean expected heterozygosity per population was 0.703, 0.715, 0.719, 0.699, 0.749, 0.719, 0.731, 0.721, 0.719.. Read More»

Red Sindhi cattle in Brazil: population structure and distribution
Authors: J.C.C. Panetto, M.V.G.B. Silva, R.M.H. Leite, M.A. Machado,F.A.T. Bruneli, D.R.L. Reis, M.G.C.D. Peixoto, R.S. Verneque
The Red Sindhi cattle breed was imported to Brazil in small numbers. Nowadays, the herds of this breed are distributed in the Northeast, Southeast and Midwest regions of the country. In this study, DNA samples of animals originating from 15 herds in the Northeast and Southeast regions have been analyzed to obtain the ancestry .. Read More»

Development of two multiplex mini-sequencing panels of ancestry informative SNPs for studies in Latin Americans: an application to populations of the State of Minas Gerais (Brazil)
Authors: M.C.F. Silva*, L.W. Zuccherato*, G.B. Soares-Souza, Z.M. Vieira, L. Cabrera, P. Herrera, J. Balqui, C. Romero, H. Jahuira, R.H. Gilman, M.L. Martins and E. Tarazona-Santos
Admixture occurs when individuals from parental populations that have been isolated for hundreds of generations form a new hybrid population. Currently, interest in measuring biogeographic ancestry has spread from anthropology to forensic sciences, direct-to-consumers personal genomics, and civil rights issues of minorities, a.. Read More»

A rapid screening of ancestry for genetic association studies in an admixed population from Pernambuco, Brazil
Authors: A.V.C. Coelho, R.R. Moura, C.A.J. Cavalcanti, R.L. Guimar�£es,P. Sandrin-Garcia, S. Crovella and L.A.C. Brand�£o
Genetic association studies determine how genes influence traits. However, non-detected population substructure may bias the analysis, resulting in spurious results. One method to detect substructure is to genotype ancestry informative markers (AIMs) besides the candidate variants, quantifying how much ancestral populations contribute to the samples&rsquo..
