The Kalash Genetic Isolate? The Evidence for Recent Admixture [PDF]
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 Stratigraphy of Key Demographic Events in Arabia [PDF]
The issue of admixture in human populations is normally addressed by genome-wide (GW) studies, and several approaches have been developed to date admixture events [1,2,3,4,5].

The geometry of admixture in population genetics: the blessing of dimensionality
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.

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

Microbial DNA fingerprinting of human fingerprints: dynamic colonization of fingertip microflora challenges human host inferences for forensic purposes [PDF]
Human fingertip microflora is transferred to touched objects and may provide forensically relevant information on individual hosts, such as on geographic origins, if endogenous microbial skin species/strains would be retrievable from physical ...
