The original settlement by indigenous Americans, followed by postcolonial admixture from multiple continents, has yielded localized genetic patterns. In addition, numerous H/L populations appear to have signatures of pre-colonization and post-colonization bottlenecks, indicating that tens of millions of H...
Background: Few data are available on population level regarding domain-specific correlates of physical activity (PA) in Latin America. Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the relationships among PA patterns and their main sociodemographic determinants and cardiovascular risk factors in the...

Resulting multi-temporal, gridded population datasets are unique in terms of granularity and extent, providing fine-scale (~100 m) patterns of population distribution for mainland China. For consistency purposes, the Tibet Autonomous Region, Taiwan, and the islands in the South China Sea were ...
However, these tools have not been thoroughly tested in populations with different ancestries, and it is not well understood the how facial phenotypes associated with genetic and RD might be influenced by the complex patterns of population ancestry characterizing human populations. Population ancestry ...
Other population characteristics that are important for variant annotation includelinkage disequilibrium(LD) patterns exhibited by the variant with other variants. Such patterns can provide information about the haplotypic background upon which the variant arose and the potential for use o...

Beginning in France and Hungary in the 18th century, a dramatic decline in fertility took shape in the more developed societies of Europe and North ...
Today, such quotas are long gone, but the experience of a Latin American migrant farm worker is worlds away from that of a South Asian software engineer in Silicon Valley. The farm laborer, even with proper paperwork, will often face discrimination due to the status of his job, while the ...
