Geographic patterns of genome admixture in Latin American Mestizos.

Geographic patterns of genome admixture in Latin American Mestizos.

The large and diverse population of Latin America is potentially a powerful resource for elucidating the genetic basis of complex traits through admixture mapping. However, no genome-wide characterization of admixture across Latin America has yet been attempted. Here, we report an analysis of admixt...
