Genetic Landscape of Eurasia and “Admixture” in Uyghurs [PDF]
The American Journal of Human Genetics, 2009 To the Editor: In the papers1,2 by Xu and Jin, the genetic structure of Uyghurs was described by 8150 ancestry-informative markers (AIMs). These markers estimated the admixture rate of the Uyghur population to be around 50% East Asian ancestry by comparing Uyghurs to East Asians and Europeans.

The Kalash Genetic Isolate? The Evidence for Recent Admixture [PDF]
The American Journal of Human Genetics, 2016 To the editor: The recent paper “The Kalash Genetic Isolate: Ancient Divergence, Drift, and Selection,” by Ayub et al.1 suggests that the Kalash people of present-day Pakistan experienced “no detectable gene flow from their geographic neighbors in Pakistan or from other extant Eurasian populations” since their split from those populations over 8,000 ...

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

The geometry of admixture in population genetics: the blessing of dimensionality
GENETICS, 2023 Abstract We present a geometry-based interpretation of the f-statistics framework, commonly used in population genetics to estimate phylogenetic relationships from genomic data. The focus is on the determination of the mixing coefficients in population admixture events subject to post-admixture drift.

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.

AdmixSim: A Forward-Time Simulator for Various Complex Scenarios of Population Admixture
Frontiers in Genetics, 2020 Background: Population admixture is a common phenomenon in humans, animals, and plants, and it plays a very important role in shaping individual genetic architecture and population genetic diversity.

Evolutionary Applications, 2013 Genetic admixture between wild and introduced populations is a rising concern for the management of endangered species. Here, we use a dual approach based on molecular analyses of samples collected before and after hatchery fish introduction in ...
