Genetic Structure of Human Populations
Noah A. Rosenberg,Jonathan K. Pritchard,James L. Weber,Howard M. Cann,Kenneth K. Kidd,Lev A. Zhivotovsky,Marcus W. Feldman +6 more
TL;DR: General agreement of genetic and predefined populations suggests that self-reported ancestry can facilitate assessments of epidemiological risks but does not obviate the need to use genetic information in genetic association studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Worldwide human relationships inferred from genome-wide patterns of variation.
Jun Li,Devin Absher,Hua Tang,Audrey Southwick,Amanda M. Casto,Sohini Ramachandran,Howard M. Cann,Gregory S. Barsh,Marcus W. Feldman,Luigi Luca Cavalli-Sforza,Richard M. Myers +10 more
TL;DR: A pattern of ancestral allele frequency distributions that reflects variation in population dynamics among geographic regions is observed and is consistent with the hypothesis of a serial founder effect with a single origin in sub-Saharan Africa.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A resource of 1064 cultured lymphoblastoid cell lines from individuals in different world populations and corresponding milligram quantities of DNA is deposited at the Foundation Jean Dausset (CEPH) in Paris.

TL;DR: The analysis of high-quality genotypes at 525,910 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and 396 copy-number-variable loci in a worldwide sample of 29 populations produces new inferences about inter-population variation, support the utility of CNVs in human population-genetic research, and serve as a genomic resource for human- genetic studies in diverse worldwide populations.
