Genetic Structure of the Y‐Chromosome in Colombia: An Analysis of Regional Diversity and Ancestry
Objective To determine the genetic diversity and ancestry of male lineages across various regions of Colombia by analyzing Y‐chromosome Short Tandem Repeats (STRs) and to explore how these genetic variations relate to the historical and migratory events that shaped the country's subpopulations. Materials and Methods A total of 672 DNA samples from diverse Colombian populations were analyzed, and Y‐chromosome STRs were genotyped using the Yfiler a…
Contrasting the ancestry patterns of three distinct population groups from the northernmost region of South America
Colombia, located in the north of the South American subcontinent is a country of great interest for population genetic studies given its high ethnic and cultural diversity represented by the admixed population, 102 indigenous peoples and African descent populations. In this study, an analysis of the genetic structure and ancestry was performed based on 46 ancestry informative INDEL markers (AIM‐INDELs) and considering the genealogical and demogr…
High genetic diversity on a sample of pre-Columbian bone remains from Guane territories in northwestern Colombia
Ancient DNA was recovered from 17 individuals found in a rock shelter in the district of "La Purnia" (Santander, Colombia). This region is the homeland of pre-Columbian Guane, whom spread over the "Río Suarez" to the "Río de Oro", and were surrounded to the west by the Central Andes, south and east by foothills of Eastern Andes, and north by the "Chicamocha" river canyon. Guanes established in a region that straddles the Andes and the northern Am…
