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.

The Missing Link of Jewish European Ancestry: Contrasting the Rhineland and the Khazarian Hypotheses [PDF]
, 2012 The question of Jewish ancestry has been the subject of controversy for over two centuries and has yet to be resolved. The "Rhineland Hypothesis" proposes that Eastern European Jews emerged from a small group of German Jews who migrated eastward and ...

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 genetic history of admixture across inner Eurasia [PDF]
Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2019 The indigenous populations of inner Eurasia-a huge geographic region covering the central Eurasian steppe and the northern Eurasian taiga and tundra-harbour tremendous diversity in their genes, cultures and languages. In this study, we report novel genome-wide data for 763 individuals from Armenia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Moldova, Mongolia, Russia ...

General theory for stochastic admixture graphs and F-statistics [PDF]
, 2018 We provide a general mathematical framework based on the theory of graphical models to study admixture graphs. Admixture graphs are used to describe the ancestral relationships between past and present populations, allowing for population merges and ...

Admixture mapping of genetic variants for uterine fibroids [PDF]
Journal of Human Genetics, 2015 Uterine leiomyoma (UL) are benign neoplasms arising from the smooth muscle cells of the uterus. One of the established risk factors for UL is African American ethnicity. Studies have consistently shown that African Americans have two to three times higher risk compared with that of non-Hispanic Whites.

Genome-wide SNP analysis of Southern African populations provides new insights into the dispersal of Bantu-speaking groups [PDF]
, 2015 The expansion of Bantu-speaking agropastoralist populations had a great impact on the genetic, linguistic, and cultural variation of sub-Saharan Africa. It is generally accepted that Bantu languages originated in an area around the present border between
