William Usaquén - Genetic Mutations

Author Information

William Usaquén is affiliated with the Populations Genetics and Identification Group at the Institute of Genetics, National University of Colombia in Bogotá, Colombia. His research primarily focuses on population genetics, ancestry analysis, and genetic identification, with a particular emphasis on the genetic diversity of populations in northern South America.

Research Contributions

William Usaquén has made significant contributions to the field of genetics through his research on population genetics, forensic genetics, and genetic diversity. His work includes ancestry analysis using autosomal SNPs, case reports on heteropaternal superfecundation, and the study of Y-chromosome and surname analysis among native islanders of San Andrés and Providencia. His research also extends to the genetic investigation of prehispanic bone remains and the paternal lineage of populations in the middle Magdalena River region. William's studies provide valuable insights into the genetic makeup and historical peopling of Central America and northernmost South America.
