Genetic Structure of the Y‐Chromosome in Colombia: An Analysis of Regional Diversity and Ancestry
The results highlight the genetic complexity of Colombian populations, which have been shaped by the admixture of Native American, African, European, and, to a lesser extent, Middle Eastern lineages. These findings highlight the impact of historical processes, including European colonization, the transatlantic slave trade, and more recent migration events, on the country's genetic structure.
