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.

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

Genetic ancestry, admixture, and population structure in rural Dominica

PLoS ONE, 2021
The Caribbean is a genetically diverse region with heterogeneous admixture compositions influenced by local island ecologies, migrations, colonial conflicts, and demographic histories.

Genetic admixture and gallbladder disease in Mexican Americans

American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1998
Gallbladder disease is a common source of morbidity in the Mexican American population. Genetic heritage has been proposed as a possible contributor, but evidence for this is limited. Because gallbladder disease has been associated with Native American heritage, genetic admixture may serve as a useful proxy for genetic susceptibility to the disease in ...

Admixture Indicative Interval (AII): a new approach to assess trends in genetic admixture

Genetica, 2014
The genetic admixture is a dynamic and diachronic process, taking place during a great number of generations. Consequently, a sole admixture rate does not represent such an event and several estimates could help to take into account its dynamics. We developed an Admixture Indicative Interval (AII) which gives a mathematical key to avoid this problem by

The genetic structure and admixture of Manchus and Koreans in northeast China

Annals of Human Biology, 2023
Background The fine-scale genetic profiles and population history of Manchus and Koreans remain unclear. Aim To infer a fine-scale genetic structure and admixture of Manchu and Korean populations.

Demographics of genetic admixture and expansion

BioSystems
We explore the dynamics of genetic admixture and expansion, as well as language assimilation, through mathematical-demographic modeling. Our primary goal is to address the population-genetics 'paradox' wherein autosomes and allosomes present markedly different, if not contradictory, pictures of past migrations. We demonstrate that this paradox may find

A genetic and linguistic analysis of the admixture histories of the islands of Cabo Verde

eLife, 2023
From the 15th to the 19th century, the Trans-Atlantic Slave-Trade (TAST) influenced the genetic and cultural diversity of numerous populations. We explore genomic and linguistic data from the nine islands of Cabo Verde, the earliest European colony of ...

AdFiT v1.7 (Admixture Files Tool): input files creating tool for population genetic admixture estimation software [PDF]

Bulletins et Mémoires de la Société d’Anthropologie de Paris, 2009
The six most commonly used software programs in the literature for population genetic admixture estimation since 20 years, are ADMIX, ADMIX95, Mistura, Admix 2.0, LEA, and LEADMIX, and each one has its own specific file format and filename extensions. We

The Admixture Linkage Disequilibrium and Genetic Linkage Inference on the Gradual Admixture Population

Acta Genetica Sinica, 2006
Through the theoretical analysis of the admixture linkage disequilibrium (ALD) in the gradual admixture (GA) model, in which admixture occurs in every generation, the ALD is found to be proportional to the difference in marker allele frequencies, P1 - P2, between two subpopulations.
