Abstract

The population structure of Native Mexicans The genetics of indigenous Mexicans exhibit substantial geographical structure, some as divergent from each other as are existing populations of Europeans and Asians. By performing genome-wide analyses on Native Mexicans from differing populations, Moreno-Estrada et al. successfully recapitulated the pre-Columbian substructure of Mexico. This ancestral structure is evident among cosmopolitan Mexicans and is correlated with subcontinental origins and medically relevant aspects of lung function. These findings exemplify the importance of understanding the genetic contributions of admixed individuals. Science , this issue p. 1280
