Mestizo Genomics : Race Mixture, Nation, and Science in Latin America /

Mostrar otras versiones (2)

In genetics laboratories in Latin America, scientists have been mapping the genomes of local populations, seeking to locate the genetic basis of complex diseases and to trace population histories. As part of their work, geneticists often calculate the European, African, and Amerindian genetic ancest...
