Admixture and genetic diversity distribution patterns of non-recombining lineages of Native American ancestry in Colombian populations.

Admixture and genetic diversity distribution patterns of non-recombining lineages of Native American ancestry in Colombian populations.

Genetic diversity of present American populations results from very complex demographic events involving different types and degrees of admixture. Through the analysis of lineage markers such as mtDNA and Y chromosome it is possible to recover the original Native American haplotypes, which remained...
