Genomic ancestry of a sample population from the State of Sao Paulo, Brazil

Article Abstract:

The genomic ancestry of a Brazilian population sample from the State of Sao Paulo is verified, based on autosomal short-tandem repeat (STR) loci. The Unweighted Pair-Group Method with Arithmetic Mean (UPGMA) tree constructed based on genetic distances reveals that the population was grouped with Europeans, and separated from African and Amerindian populations, with 79%European, 14% African and 7% Amerindian admixture component contribution to the sample.

Exploring Northeast African metric craniofacial variation at the individual level: A comparative study using principal components analysis

Article Abstract:

A principal components analysis that was carried out on male crania from the northeast quadrant of Africa and selected European and other African series is reported. The crania from the northeast quadrant of Africa collectively show the greatest pattern of overlap with both Europeans and other Africans and the high level of African interindividual variation in craniometric pattern is reminiscent of the great level of molecular diversity found in Africa.

Ethnogenomic diversity of Caucasus, Daghestan

Article Abstract:

A comparison is presented of within- and between-population genetic diversity in autosomal short-tandem-repeat polymorphisms (STRPs) among several Caucasus indigenous ethnic groups of the Daghestan. A genetic analysis of the groups reveals three distinct clusters for the basis of their origin, namely, populations of African affiliation, European and Daghestan populations and Asian populations.
