Ancestry dynamics in a South American population: The impact of gene flow and preferential mating.
Philip W HedrickPublished in: American journal of physical anthropology (2017)
Gene flow, mating advantage, or a combination of both factors, are consistent with observed levels of European ancestry in a Latin American population. This approach provides a general methodology to determine the levels of gene flow and mating differences that can explain the observed contemporary differences in ancestry from autosomes and X-chromosomes.
