The peopling of the Americas has been the subject of extensive genetic, archaeological and
linguistic research; however, central questions remain unresolved 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 . One …

We examined genetic diversity and population structure in the American landmass using
678 autosomal microsatellite markers genotyped in 422 individuals representing 24 Native …

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-…

Colombia is a country with great geographic heterogeneity and marked regional differences
in pre‐Columbian native population density and in the extent of past African and European …

Although once associated only with rural areas, the American leishmaniasis vectors now
appear to be associated also with urban and suburban areas of the Neotropics. Following the …

Satellite‐tracked surface drifter data from 1999–2006 are used to compute global climatology
of inertial current characteristics at seasonal scales. The global mean near‐inertial current …

African descended populations exhibit an increased prevalence of asthma and allergies
compared to Europeans. One approach to distinguish between environmental and genetic …

The transatlantic slave trade was the largest forced migration in world history. However, the

The wide variation in severity displayed during Dengue Virus (DENV) infection may be
influenced by host susceptibility. In several epidemiological approaches, differences in disease …
