Migrations, admixture and genetic diversity in Central Argentinian Patagonia: analysis of autosomal Alu polymorphisms (original) (raw)

2017, BAG. Journal of basic and applied genetics

This study aimed to analyze autosomal Alu insertions in three localities from Patagonia Argentina belonging to the Andes region and the coast of the Chubut province. Knowledge of the genetic diversity of these populations, along with the genealogical data, will contribute to better understand historical information, differential migration process and bio-demographic composition of the Central Patagonia region. In order to achieve this objective, 16 autosomal Alu insertion polymorphisms were genotyped: ACE,
