In recent years, significant efforts have been made to improve methods for genomic studies of admixed populations using local ancestry inference (LAI). Accurate LAI is crucial to ensure that downstream analyses accurately reflect the genetic ancestry of research participants. Here, we test analytic strategies for LAI to provide guidelines for optimal accuracy, focusing on admixed populations reflective of Latin America's primary continental ancestries-African (AFR), Amerindigenous (AMR), and European (EUR).

Instituto Nacional de Ciencias Neurologicas, Lima, Peru.
Background: Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is the most prevalent form of dementia globally. While some familial cases are observed, sporadic AD cases are more common and reflect a high level of complexity, with individual risk determined by the interaction of polygenic and environmental factors.
Objective: To characterize polygenic genetic risk factors in individuals with cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's Disease across four regions of Peru.

Université Paris Cité, Inserm U1153 CRESS, INRAE, HERA Team, Paris, France.
Background: Interest has grown recently in childhood diet's role in allergy development. However, the studies focusing on organic food consumption are scarce. We address the relationships between such consumption and respiratory/allergic morbidity at school age in the PARIS (Pollution and asthma risk: An infant study) cohort.

Pharmaceutical tablets are routinely film-coated to improve appearance, reduce medication errors and enhance storage stability. Terahertz pulsed imaging (TPI) can be utilised to study the liquid penetration into the porous tablet matrix in real time. Using polymer-coated flat-faced tablets with anhydrous lactose or mannitol, we show that when the tablet matrix contains anhydrous material, the anhydrous form transforms to the solid-state hydrate form in the tablet core while the immediate release coating dissolves.
