    Genes mirror geography within Europe (2008)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)

    Description: Understanding the genetic structure of human populations is of fundamental interest to medical, forensic and anthropological sciences. Advances in high-throughput genotyping technology have markedly improved our understanding of global patterns of human genetic variation and suggest the potential to use large samples to uncover variation among closely spaced populations. Here we characterize genetic variation in a sample of 3,000 European individuals genotyped at over half a million variable DNA sites in the human genome. Despite low average levels of genetic differentiation among Europeans, we find a close correspondence between genetic and geographic distances; indeed, a geographical map of Europe arises naturally as an efficient two-dimensional summary of genetic variation in Europeans. The results emphasize that when mapping the genetic basis of a disease phenotype, spurious associations can arise if genetic structure is not properly accounted for. In addition, the results are relevant to the prospects of genetic ancestry testing; an individual's DNA can be used to infer their geographic origin with surprising accuracy-often to within a few hundred kilometres.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2735096/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2735096/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Novembre, John -- Johnson, Toby -- Bryc, Katarzyna -- Kutalik, Zoltan -- Boyko, Adam R -- Auton, Adam -- Indap, Amit -- King, Karen S -- Bergmann, Sven -- Nelson, Matthew R -- Stephens, Matthew -- Bustamante, Carlos D -- R01 GM083606/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM083606-01/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM083606-02/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2008 Nov 6;456(7218):98-101. doi: 10.1038/nature07331.

    Traces of human migrations in Helicobacter pylori populations (2003)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2003-03-08
    Description: Helicobacter pylori, a chronic gastric pathogen of human beings, can be divided into seven populations and subpopulations with distinct geographical distributions. These modern populations derive their gene pools from ancestral populations that arose in Africa, Central Asia, and East Asia. Subsequent spread can be attributed to human migratory fluxes such as the prehistoric colonization of Polynesia and the Americas, the neolithic introduction of farming to Europe, the Bantu expansion within Africa, and the slave trade.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Falush, Daniel -- Wirth, Thierry -- Linz, Bodo -- Pritchard, Jonathan K -- Stephens, Matthew -- Kidd, Mark -- Blaser, Martin J -- Graham, David Y -- Vacher, Sylvie -- Perez-Perez, Guillermo I -- Yamaoka, Yoshio -- Megraud, Francis -- Otto, Kristina -- Reichard, Ulrike -- Katzowitsch, Elena -- Wang, Xiaoyan -- Achtman, Mark -- Suerbaum, Sebastian -- R02GM63270/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Mar 7;299(5612):1582-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular Biology, Max-Planck Institut fur Infektionsbiologie, 10117 Berlin, Germany.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12624269" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
