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.

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

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.

Genomics clarifies taxonomic boundaries in a difficult species complex. [PDF]
, 2017 Efforts to taxonomically delineate species are often confounded with conflicting information and subjective interpretation. Advances in genomic methods have resulted in a new approach to taxonomic identification that stands to greatly reduce much of this
