Modeling Continuous Admixture Using Admixture-Induced Linkage Disequilibrium [PDF]
Abstract Recent migrations and inter-ethnic mating of long isolated populations have resulted in genetically admixed populations. To understand the complex population admixture process, which is critical to both evolutionary and medical studies, here we used admixture induced linkage disequilibrium (LD) to infer continuous admixture ...

General theory for stochastic admixture graphs and F-statistics [PDF]
We provide a general mathematical framework based on the theory of graphical models to study admixture graphs. Admixture graphs are used to describe the ancestral relationships between past and present populations, allowing for population merges and ...

The influence of hyperplasticizer on concrete
The paper presents the possibility of modeling of concrete properties in fresh and/or hardened state by applying hyperplasticizers type admixtures, based on a modified polycarboxyl ether polymer.

Crossbreeding is a process in which animals from different breeds are mated together. The animals produced will exhibit a combination of both additive and non-additive genetic improvement from parental breeds that increase heterozygosity and negate ...

Fast individual ancestry inference from DNA sequence data leveraging allele frequencies for multiple populations. [PDF]
BackgroundEstimation of individual ancestry from genetic data is useful for the analysis of disease association studies, understanding human population history and interpreting personal genomic variation. New, computationally efficient methods are needed

What have the revelations about Neanderthal DNA revealed about Homo sapiens?
Genetic studies have presented increasing indications about the complexity of the interactions between Homo sapiens, Neanderthals and Denisovans, during Pleistocene.

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been very successful at identifying genetic variants influencing a large number of traits. Although the great majority of these studies have been performed in European-descent individuals, it has been ...

Pig herds in Africa comprise genotypes ranging from local ecotypes to commercial breeds. Many animals are composites of these two types and the best levels of crossbreeding for particular production systems are largely unknown.

Phenomenological Comparison of Models with Extended Higgs Sectors [PDF]
Beyond the Standard Model (SM) extensions usually include extended Higgs sectors. Models with singlet or doublet fields are the simplest ones that are compatible with the $\rho$ parameter constraint.

The footprint of recent and strong demographic decline in the genomes of Mangalitza pigs
The Mangalitza pig breed has suffered strong population reductions due to competition with more productive cosmopolitan breeds. In the current work, we aimed to investigate the effects of this sustained demographic recession on the genomic diversity of ...
