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.

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.

Genetic Stratigraphy of Key Demographic Events in Arabia [PDF]

, 2015
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 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 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.

Microbial DNA fingerprinting of human fingerprints: dynamic colonization of fingertip microflora challenges human host inferences for forensic purposes [PDF]

, 2009
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 ...

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.

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.
