Tracing evolutionary history and admixture in mixed‐ploidy systems [PDF]

Molecular Ecology Resources, 2021
Polyploidy, resulting from whole genome duplication, is a widespread phenomenon throughout Eukaryotic kingdoms. It is estimated that 15% of speciation events in plants is due to polyploidization and 16% of plant species encompass ploidy variation. In spite of the evolutionary and economic significance of polyploidy, there is a limited set of tools that

Legofit: estimating population history from genetic data

BMC Bioinformatics, 2019
Background Our current understanding of archaic admixture in humans relies on statistical methods with large biases, whose magnitudes depend on the sizes and separation times of ancestral populations.

Admixture with indigenous people helps local adaptation: admixture-enabled selection in Polynesians

BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Background Homo sapiens have experienced admixture many times in the last few thousand years. To examine how admixture affects local adaptation, we investigated genomes of modern Polynesians, who are shaped through admixture between Austronesian-speaking

Inference of population splits and mixtures from genome-wide allele frequency data [PDF]

, 2012
Many aspects of the historical relationships between populations in a species are reflected in genetic data. Inferring these relationships from genetic data, however, remains a challenging task. In this paper, we present a statistical model for inferring

Genome-wide SNP analysis of Southern African populations provides new insights into the dispersal of Bantu-speaking groups [PDF]

, 2015
The expansion of Bantu-speaking agropastoralist populations had a great impact on the genetic, linguistic, and cultural variation of sub-Saharan Africa. It is generally accepted that Bantu languages originated in an area around the present border between

The Genetic Structure and History of Africans and African Americans. [PDF]

, 2009
Africa is the source of all modern humans, but characterization of genetic variation and of relationships among populations across the continent has been enigmatic. We studied 121 African populations, four African American populations, and 60 non-African

The admixture structure and genetic variation of the archipelago of Cape Verde and its implications for admixture mapping studies.

PLoS ONE, 2012
Recently admixed populations offer unique opportunities for studying human history and for elucidating the genetic basis of complex traits that differ in prevalence between human populations. Historical records, classical protein markers, and preliminary

The complex genetic landscape of southwestern Chinese populations contributed to their extensive ethnolinguistic diversity

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
The comprehensive characterization of the fine-scale genetic background of ethnolinguistically diverse populations can gain new insights into the population admixture processes, which is essential for evolutionary and medical genomic research.
