An international jury composed of Guido Barbujani (Italy), David Caramelli (Italy), Roberto Macchiarelli (France), John Relethford (U.S.A.), and Alan Goodman (U.S.A.) selected the article entitled Genetic Architecture of a Small, Recently Aggregated Aleut Population: Bering Island, Russia by Rohina Rubicz, Mark Zlojutro, Guangyun Sun, Victor Spitsyn, Ranjan Deka, Kristin Young, and Michael Crawford as the best contribution to the 82 volume of Human Biology (2010). This research paper appeared in a special double issue, entitled Origins of the Populations of the Aleutian Islands guest edited byMichael Crawford, DixieWest (both at theUniversity of Kansas, Manhattan, Kansas), and Dennis O’Rourke (University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah). Rohina Rubicz is a postdoctoral researcher at the Texas Biomedical Research Institute (formerly the Southwest Foundation for Biomedical Research), San Antonio, Texas. She received her Ph.D. in biological anthropology (population genetics) in 2007 from the University of Kansas. As a graduate student she used molecular genetic markers (mitochondrial, Y chromosome, and autosomal DNA) to investigate questions concerning the peopling of the Americas, the co-evolution of genes and languages (Rubicz et al. 2002), and the origins of Aleuts and their relationship to other North American and Siberian populations (Rubicz et al. 2003; Zlojutro et al. 2006). Rohina’s current research applies statistical genetic methods to the study of complex phenotypes, including the role of host genetics in susceptibility to infectious disease, and the relationship between infection and risk factors for chronic diseases of aging (i.e., cardiovascular disease and diabetes) in Mexican Americans. She also continues her work in population genetics, with a recent publication on genetic substructure among the peoples of Beringia (Rubicz et al. 2010)
