Estimation of genetic admixture proportions via haplotypes. [PDF]
Comput Struct Biotechnol J, 2023 Abstract Estimation of ethnic admixture is essential for creating personal genealogies, studying human history, and conducting genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Three methods exist for estimating admixture coefficients. The frequentist approach directly maximizes the binomial loglikelihood.

Admixture as the basis for genetic mapping [PDF]
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2008 Genetic mapping in natural populations is increasing rapidly in feasibility and accessibility. As with many areas in genetics, advances in molecular techniques and statistics are drastically altering how we can investigate inheritance in wild organisms.

Evolutionary Genetics and Admixture in African Populations
Genome Biology and Evolution, 2023 Abstract As the ancestral homeland of our species, Africa contains elevated levels of genetic diversity and substantial population structure. Importantly, African genomes are heterogeneous: They contain mixtures of multiple ancestries, each of which have experienced different evolutionary histories.

Genetic Origins and Sex-Biased Admixture of the Huis [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2021 Abstract The Hui people are unique among Chinese ethnic minorities in that they speak the same language as Han Chinese (HAN) but practice Islam. However, as the second-largest minority group in China numbering well over 10 million, the Huis are under-represented in both global and regional genomic studies.

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021 As a major part of the modern Trans-Eurasian or Altaic language family, most of the Mongolic and Tungusic languages were mainly spoken in northern China, Mongolia, and southern Siberia, but some were also found in southern China. Previous genetic surveys

Genetic evidence for archaic admixture in Africa [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2011 A long-debated question concerns the fate of archaic forms of the genus Homo : did they go extinct without interbreeding with anatomically modern humans, or are their genes present in contemporary populations?

Evaluation of group genetic ancestry of populations from Philadelphia and Dakar in the context of sex-biased admixture in the Americas. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 Population history can be reflected in group genetic ancestry, where genomic variation captured by the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and non-recombining portion of the Y chromosome (NRY) can separate female- and male-specific admixture processes.
