Abstract:
Abstract Motivation Population admixture is an important subject in population genetics. Inferring population demographic history with admixture under the so-called admixture network model from population genetic data is an established problem in genetics. Existing admixture network inference approaches work with single genetic polymorphisms. While these methods are usually very fast, they do not fully utilize the information [e.g. linkage disequilibrium (LD)] contained in population genetic data. Results In this article, we develop a new admixture network inference method called GTmix. Differ

Abstract:
Abstract Association studies using random population samples are increasingly being applied in the identification and inference of genetic effects of genes underlying complex traits. It is well recognized that population admixture may yield false-positive identification of genetic effects for complex traits. However, it is less well appreciated that population admixture can appear to mask, change, or reverse true genetic effects for genes underlying complex traits. By employing a simple population genetics model, we explore the effects and the conditions of population admixture in masking, cha

Abstract Aim Survival after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is dependent on donor/recipient (D/R) HLA matching. However disparities in survival were reported for some ethnicities despite comparable HLA matching. Individual ethnicities/races, as reported through self-identification, can change over time. Most studies have shown that African-American recipients (AAFA race) experience worse survival. Another way to investigate ancestry is to use Ancestry Informative Marker SNPs (AIMs), providing ancestral admixture. We hypothesized that information on donor and recipient genetic admixtur

Abstract:
Admixture models are a ubiquitous approach to capture latent population structure in genetic samples. Despite the widespread application of admixture models, little thought has been devoted to the quality of the model fit or the accuracy of the estimates of parameters of interest for a particular study. Here we develop methods for validating admixture models based on posterior predictive checks (PPCs), a Bayesian method for assessing the quality of fit of a statistical model to a specific dataset. We develop PPCs for five population-level statistics of interest: within-population genetic varia

Abstract:
Admixture is increasingly being recognized as an important factor in evolutionary genetics. The distribution of genomic admixture tracts, and the resulting effects on admixture linkage disequilibrium, can be used to date the timing of admixture between species or populations. However, the theory used for such prediction assumes selective neutrality despite the fact that many famous examples of admixture involve natural selection acting for or against admixture. In this paper, we investigate the effects of positive selection on the distribution of tract lengths. We develop a theoretical framewo

Abstract. Recent advances in molecular genetics have provided hundreds of thousands of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to detect mutations in genes related with complex traits. Undetected shared ancestry within samples of individuals could lead to the detection of false genomic signals in association mapping. Pedigree-based relationship matrices or genomic relationship matrices could be used in a mixed model to predict and correct for genetic stratifications. Genotypic information of founder populations could also be used to explore patterns of inheritance for complex traits by admixtur

How food production first entered eastern Africa ~5000 years ago and the extent to which people moved with livestock is unclear. We present genome-wide data from 41 individuals associated with Later Stone Age, Pastoral Neolithic (PN), and Iron Age contexts in what are now Kenya and Tanzania to examine the genetic impacts of the spreads of herding and farming. Our results support a multiphase model in which admixture between northeastern African–related peoples and eastern African foragers formed multiple pastoralist groups, including a genetically homogeneous PN cluster.

Abstract:
Abstract When populations are separated for long periods and then brought into contact for a brief episode in part of their range, this can result in genetic admixture. To analyze this type of event we considered a simple model under which two parental populations (P1 and P2) mix and create a hybrid population (H). After that event, the three populations evolve under pure drift without exchange during T generations. We developed a new method, which allows the simultaneous estimation of the time since the admixture event (scaled by the population size ti = T/Ni, where Ni is the effective popula

Reconstructing the origins and evolutionary journey of humans is a central piece of biology. Complementary to archeology, population genetics studying genetic variation among individuals in extant populations has made considerable progress in understanding the evolution of our species. Particularly, studies in indigenous humans provide valuable insights on the prehistory of humans because their life history closely resembles that of our ancestors. Despite these efforts, it can be difficult to disentangle population genetic inferences because of the interplay among evolutionary forces, includin

As Julian Huxley and others had done some fifty years earlier, the assumptions underlying the tree-building approach were also criticized, particularly by emphasizing the prevalence of convergent evolution in humans.

It was only around 2000, however, that new software made it possible to cluster individual DNA samples while visualizing the degree to which such samples and the populations that were constructed on their basis might be the result of admixtures.

Abstract Gene flow is a micro-evolutionary process that maintains the allelic exchange among local populations, increasing population genetic diversity. Because of the immobility of plants, pollen plays a major role in connecting extant populations while seeds are necessary to establish and maintain populations of plants.

Inheritable traits of cattle were modified in various ways at different times by diverse cultures. A large collection of seventeenth century cattle remains excavated from 71 silos in the Largo do Coreto in Carnide, Lisbon, included 47 com- plete and 44 distal ends of metacarpals. These provide an opportunity to make a detailed osteometric and archaeogenetics study. While morphological changes such as size increase, as detected in bone measurements, indicate improvement for larger animals, ancient DNA is useful for studying evolutionary trajectories and modes of improvement of domestic animals.
