The history of the European conquest of the American Continent can be understood as the spread of pathogens that led to the collapse of most indigenous peoples. The deadliest infectious diseases spread from the Old to the New World, including Smallpox, Measles, Whooping Cough, Chickenpox, Bubonic Plague, Typhus and Malaria. Although post-contact epidemics are well studied, pre-contact dis…
The Native American populations are, since the first contact with Europeans, exposed to a myriad of pathogens from which they have been isolated for more than 15 centuries since their differentiation in Beringia. Examples abound of epidemics that plagued post-contact America, leading to the extinction of diverse native populations. Recent studies involving ancient and present-day individu…
Native American populations are the human group less studied as regards its genetic variability. Although the few studies using genomic array had helped to better understand the Native American populations structure, the genotyping platforms of this technique are based on the existing genetic variation of African, Asian and European populations, not taking into account the Native American…
The present project aims at sequencing 40 complete genomes of individuals infected with SARS-CoV-2 from two Native American populations in Espírito Santo (Brazil) in order to unveil their genomic variability and its possible relationship with the clinical outcomes presented. The specific objectives of the project are: a. Elucidate native American native variability and its relationship to…
The admixture of three continental ancestry components, European, African and Native American, has shaped the Brazilian population. Historical record suggests that the slaves came from different regions of Africa (e.g. Angola, Congo, Mozambique), but the way these groups dispersed and admixed with native americans and europeans after arriving in Brazil are still poorly documented. In rece…
