TLDR
An analysis of admixture in thirteen Mestizo populations from seven countries in Latin America based on data for 678 autosomal and 29 X-chromosome microsatellites found extensive variation in Native American and European ancestry among populations and individuals and evidence that admixture across Latin America has often involved predominantly European men and both Native and African women.Abstract:
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 admixture in thirteen Mestizo populations (i.e. in regions of mainly European and Native settlement) from seven countries in Latin America based on data for 678 autosomal and 29 X-chromosome microsatellites. We found extensive variation in Native American and European ancestry (and generally low levels of African ancestry) among populations and individuals, and evidence that admixture across Latin America has often involved predominantly European men and both Native and African women. An admixture analysis allowing for Native American population subdivision revealed a differentiation of the Native American ancestry amongst Mestizos. This observation is consistent with the genetic structure of pre-Columbian populations and with admixture having involved Natives from the area where the Mestizo examined are located. Our findings agree with available information on the demographic history of Latin America and have a number of implications for the design of association studies in population from the region.read more

Causes and Consequences of Human Migration: The African colonial migration into Mexico: history and biological consequences
TL;DR: This article analyzed patterns of African migration arising from the slave trade during the colonial expansion, the ethnic composition of colonial populations, and their mating patterns, complemented by bio-anthropological evidence of African presence in current Mexican populations (mainly genetic and morphological data).

TL;DR: The population structure of the NWA would be determined by the migration status and relative isolation of its populations, as well as the richness or abundance of surnames that can weigh genetic drift by isonymy.

The reflexivity of pain and privilege: An autoethnography of (Mestizo) identity and other Mestizo voices
TL;DR: In this article, a holistic poststructuralist perspective is used to show the unique characteristics of Mestizo-Latinos, and interrelated characteristics allow for embedded interpretations, where observational and interviewing layers inform the researcher of his own affective identity history.

Inference of population structure using multilocus genotype data
TL;DR: Pritch et al. as discussed by the authors proposed a model-based clustering method for using multilocus genotype data to infer population structure and assign individuals to populations, which can be applied to most of the commonly used genetic markers, provided that they are not closely linked.

Inference of Population Structure Using Multilocus Genotype Data: Linked Loci and Correlated Allele Frequencies
TL;DR: Extensions to the method of Pritchard et al. for inferring population structure from multilocus genotype data are described and methods that allow for linkage between loci are developed, which allows identification of subtle population subdivisions that were not detectable using the existing method.

TL;DR: Significant nonrandom association between two markers located 22 cM apart (FY-null and AT3) is detected, most likely due to admixture linkage disequilibrium created in the interbreeding of the two parental populations, emphasize the importance of admixed populations as a useful resource for mapping traits with different prevalence in two parental population.
