Our recent study on the genetic diversity of Mexicans, published in Science, took the world by storm! Numerous national and international news outlets reported on the unique findings of our study, which showed that modern-day Mexicans have a surprising amount of genetic diversity and that their genetic composition mirrors ancient Pre-Columbian Native American substructure, despite the potential admixing occurring during the post-colonial period. Below is a list of media stories about our findings.
