Complex History of Admixture between Modern Humans and Neandertals [PDF]
The American Journal of Human Genetics, 2015 Recent analyses have found that a substantial amount of the Neandertal genome persists in the genomes of contemporary non-African individuals. East Asians have, on average, higher levels of Neandertal ancestry than do Europeans, which might be due to differences in the efficiency of purifying selection, an additional pulse of introgression into East ...

Inferring Admixture Histories of Human Populations Using Linkage Disequilibrium [PDF]
Genetics, 2013 Abstract Long-range migrations and the resulting admixtures between populations have been important forces shaping human genetic diversity. Most existing methods for detecting and reconstructing historical admixture events are based on allele frequency divergences or patterns of ancestry segments in chromosomes of admixed individuals. An

Eurasian back-migration into Northeast Africa was a complex and multifaceted process.
PLoS ONE, 2023 Recent studies have identified Northeast Africa as an important area for human movements during the Holocene. Eurasian populations have moved back into Northeastern Africa and contributed to the genetic composition of its people. By gathering the largest

Admixture Correction in the Outgroup-f3 Statistic [PDF]
, 2018 Genetic inheritance can be studied within a purely genetic scope. However, this eliminates part of the picture. The field of genetics is often thought of as a natural science with little in common with fields of social science. However, in human genetics

Annals of Human Biology, 2021 Background Hmong-Mien speaking Miao, also called Hmong, is the sixth largest ethnic group in mainland China. However, the fine-scale genetic profiles and population history of Miao populations in southwest China, especially in Guizhou province, remain ...

The genetic architecture underlying the evolution of a rare piscivorous life history form in brown trout after secondary contact and strong introgression [PDF]
, 2018 Identifying the genetic basis underlying phenotypic divergence and reproductive isolation is a longstanding problem in evolutionary biology. Genetic signals of adaptation and reproductive isolation are often confounded by a wide range of factors, such as

The Complex Demographic History and Evolutionary Origin of the Western Honey Bee, Apis Mellifera. [PDF]
, 2017 The western honey bee, Apis mellifera, provides critical pollination services to agricultural crops worldwide. However, despite substantial interest and prior investigation, the early evolution and subsequent diversification of this important pollinator ...

Fast individual ancestry inference from DNA sequence data leveraging allele frequencies for multiple populations. [PDF]
, 2015 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

A General Mechanistic Model for Admixture Histories of Hybrid Populations [PDF]
Genetics, 2011 AbstractAdmixed populations have been used for inferring migrations, detecting natural selection, and finding disease genes. These applications often use a simple statistical model of admixture rather than a modeling perspective that incorporates a more realistic history of the admixture process.
