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.

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

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

Secondary contact and admixture between independently invading populations of the Western corn rootworm, diabrotica virgifera virgifera in Europe [PDF]

, 2012
The western corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), is one of the most destructive pests of corn in North America and is currently invading Europe.

Admixture in the Hispanics of the San Luis Valley, Colorado, and its implications for complex trait gene mapping. [PDF]

, 2004
Hispanic populations are a valuable resource that can and should facilitate the identification of complex trait genes by means of admixture mapping (AM).

Contribution of common and rare variants to bipolar disorder susceptibility in extended pedigrees from population isolates. [PDF]

, 2020
Current evidence from case/control studies indicates that genetic risk for psychiatric disorders derives primarily from numerous common variants, each with a small phenotypic impact. The literature describing apparent segregation of bipolar disorder (BP)

High genetic diversity despite the potential for stepping-stone colonizations in an invasive species of gecko on Moorea, French Polynesia. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Invasive species often have reduced genetic diversity, but the opposite can be true if there have been multiple introductions and genetic admixture.

Genetic admixture drives climate adaptation in the bank vole. [PDF]

Commun Biol
AbstractGenetic admixture introduces new variants at relatively high frequencies, potentially aiding rapid responses to environmental changes. Here, we evaluate its role in adaptive variation related to climatic conditions in bank voles (Clethrionomys glareolus) in Britain, using whole-genome data.
