The African contribution to the present-day population of the Azores Islands (Portugal): analysis of the Y chromosome haplogroup E
Article Abstract:
An extended sample of the Y chromosomes and haplogroup E of 319 settlers of the Azores islands were analyzed to evaluate the African contribution to the present day population of the Azores. The results revealed the absence of differences on what concerns the E subhaplogroups composition between the Azores and its main parental populations, Mainland Portugal and Madeira Island.

A genomewide admixture map for Latino populations
Article Abstract:
Multiple databases containing millions of markers were screened to identify the markers for determining the ancestry of chromosomal segments in Latino populations. Each of the 4186 markers was experimentally validated in at least 232 new Latino, European and Native American samples and a subset of 1649 markers was selected to form an admixture map.
