[ 28.04.2015 ] The first article of the EPIGEN-Initiative was published. It is the first large community-based multicenter study to investigate the association between individual proportions of genome-wide based African, European and Native American ancestries and likelihood of ethnoracial self-classification in Brazil. It is also the first study of this type in Latin Americans. Link to PubMed here.
