Human population genetics, Brazilian history, Biological anthropologyAbstract
The EPIGEN-Brazil initiative is a strategic project of the Brazilian Ministry of Health, and is the largest LatinAmerican initiative for the study of human genetic diversity. It integrates two important Brazilian scientific traditions: Public Health and Human Population Genetics. In the context of the results of the EPIGEN-Brazil Project, we discuss how population genetics studies contribute to understand the process of crossbreed in Brazil, and its implications in Public Health. We show how the high genomic resolution of the EPIGEN-Brazil Project and the state-of-the-art computational methodologies allowed new inferences on the origin and dynamics of crossbreed, as well as to understand how the Brazilian social history influenced the genetic structure of this population.
