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 ...

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.

Inference of population splits and mixtures from genome-wide allele frequency data [PDF]
, 2012 Many aspects of the historical relationships between populations in a species are reflected in genetic data. Inferring these relationships from genetic data, however, remains a challenging task. In this paper, we present a statistical model for inferring

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.

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

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 date of interbreeding between Neandertals and modern humans [PDF]
, 2012 Comparisons of DNA sequences between Neandertals and present-day humans have shown that Neandertals share more genetic variants with non-Africans than with Africans.

The genetic architecture underlying the evolution of a rare piscivorous life history form in brown trout after secondary contact and strong introgression [PDF]
, 2018 Identifying the genetic basis underlying phenotypic divergence and reproductive isolation is a longstanding problem in evolutionary biology. Genetic signals of adaptation and reproductive isolation are often confounded by a wide range of factors, such as

A Novel and Fast Approach for Population Structure Inference Using Kernel-PCA and Optimization (PSIKO) [PDF]
, 2014 Population structure is a confounding factor in Genome Wide Association Studies, increasing the rate of false positive associations. In order to correct for it, several model-based algorithms such as ADMIXTURE and STRUCTURE have been proposed. These tend
