The rights of migrants to the identification of their dead: an attempt at an identification strategy from Italy

“…While there are, in fact, studies and data on various African populations, they are, at the moment, mainly based on populations from the north, south, and east. At the same time, large areas of sub-Saharan Africa are totally uncovered [65]. As far as anthropological variability is concerned, some research is beginning to be carried out on areas of interest.…”

Systematic selection of ancestry informative SNPs for differentiating Han, Japanese, Dai, and Kinh populations

“…In recent years, forensic researchers have begun to shift their attention from major continental populations to small-scale populations. Accordingly, a series of panels for ancestral origin analyses of these populations have been constructed [7][8][9][10][11][12]. Carvalho Gontijo et al presented a multiplex system, named after PIMA (Population Informative Multiplex for the Americas), which could elucidate ancestral components of indigenous American populations [7].…”
