## Abstract It is possible to estimate the proportionate contributions of ancestral populations to admixed individuals or populations using genetic markers, but different loci and alleles vary considerably in the amount of information that they provide. Conventionally, the allele frequency differen

Autosomal ancestry informative markers (AIMs) are useful for inferring individual biogeographical ancestry (I-BGA) and admixture. Ancestry estimates obtained from Y and mtDNA are useful for reconstructing population expansions and migrations in our recent past but individual genomic admixture estima
This paper presents an assessment of enamel defects (hypoplasias) in the permanent anterior teeth of three Tupı ´-Monde ´-speaking groups from the Brazilian Amazonia: the Gavia ˜o, Suruı ´, and Zoro ´. These are native societies that experienced the onset of permanent contact with Brazilian national
To provide a resource for assessing continental ancestry in a wide variety of genetic studies, we identified, validated, and characterized a set of 128 ancestry informative markers (AIMs). The markers were chosen for informativeness, genome-wide distribution, and genotype reproducibility on two plat
## Abstract Obesity is a worldwide public health problem impacting not only industrialized nations but also developing countries. The main objective of this paper was to analyze risk factors for overweight among Amerindian children and their mothers. Data were collected in 15 Amerindian riverside c
