How race becomes biology: embodiment of social inequality. (2009, background): “For example, Ramachandran et al. (2005) show that geographic distances based on likely migration paths explain 78% of the variation in genetic distances between populations.”
Human Genetic Diversity and Comparative Economic Development (2008, positive): “Figure 1: The 53 HGDP-CEPH Ethnic Groups and Migratory Paths from East Africa (Source: Cann et al., 2002; Ramachandran et al., 2005)”
Arlequin suite ver 3.5: a new series of programs to perform population genetics analyses under Linux and Windows (2010, methodology): “…an Approximate Bayesian Computation framework, and such an integration has been performed in the ABC-toolbox package (Wegmann et al. , 2010), which allows one to estimate parameters or to perform model choice based on massive simulations (like e.g. in Fagundes et al. 2007; or in Ray et al. 2010).”
When Is Selection Effective? (2014, background): “The reduction in diversity has been observed in human populations that have undergone strong population bottlenecks: For example, heterozygosity decreased in populations that left Africa, and further decreased with successive founder events [5, 6, 7, 8].”
The 'Out of Africa' Hypothesis, Human Genetic Diversity, and Comparative Economic Development (2013, methodology): “This index was initially reported at a half-degree resolution by Ramankutty et al. (2002). Formally, Ramankutty et al. (2002) calculate the land suitability index, S, as the product of climate suitability, Sclim, and soil suitability, Ssoil, i.”
Responsible genetic approach to stock restoration, sea ranching and stock enhancement of marine fishes and invertebrates (2017, background): “These records show the predicted increase in the frequencies of deleterious recessive genes through rapid population growth and random drift and the corresponding increase in inherited diseases and reduced life expectancy (e.g. Ramachandran et al. 2005; Geldenhuys et al. 2014).”
R Package gdistance: Distances and Routes on Geographical Grids (2017, background): “For example, diffusion from a single origin (Africa) explains much of the current geographical patterns of human genetic diversity (Ramachandran et al. 2005).”
Detecting loci under selection in a hierarchically structured population (2009, methodology): “Analysis of human STR data We first analysed a human data set consisting of 783 autosomal STR loci genotyped in 1048 individuals from 53 Human genome diversity project (HGDP) populations worldwide (Ramachandran et al., 2005), available on http://rosenberglab.”
Sequencing of 53,831 diverse genomes from the NHLBI TOPMed Program (2019, background): “As expected, African American and Caribbean population groups have the greatest heterozygosity 7,47 , followed by Hispanic/Latino, European American, Amish, East Asian and Samoan groups.”
Comparison of the Mantel test and alternative approaches for detecting complex multivariate relationships in the spatial analysis of genetic data (2010, background): “For example, the colonization of the world by humans has led to a pattern where genetic distance between the ancestral and descendant populations increases with geographical distance (Ramachandran et al. 2005).”
