Population admixture can enhance establishment success of the introduced biological control agent Cryptolaemus montrouzieri [PDF]

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2018
Background Introduced biological control agents have opportunities of population admixture through multiple introductions in the field. However, the importance of population admixture for their establishment success often remains unclear.

Human Population Admixture in Asia [PDF]

Genomics & Informatics, 2012
Genetic admixture in human, the result of inter-marriage among people from different well-differentiated populations, has been extensively studied in the New World, where European colonization brought contact between peoples of Europe, Africa, and Asia ...

Further Evidence of Population Admixture in the Serbian Honey Bee Population [PDF]

Insects, 2022
Socioeconomic interests and beekeeper preferences have often taken precedence over the conservation of locally native honey bee subspecies, leading to the predominance of admixture populations in human-dominated areas.

AdmixSim 2: a forward-time simulator for modeling complex population admixture [PDF]

BMC Bioinformatics, 2021
Background Computer simulations have been widely applied in population genetics and evolutionary studies. A great deal of effort has been made over the past two decades in developing simulation tools. However, there are not many simulation tools suitable

Genomic Insight Into the Population Admixture History of Tungusic-Speaking Manchu People in Northeast China [PDF]

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
Manchu is the third-largest ethnic minority in China and has the largest population size among the Tungusic-speaking groups. However, the genetic origin and admixture history of the Manchu people are far from clear due to the sparse sampling and a ...

Genomic insights into the genetic structure and population history of Mongolians in Liaoning Province

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
The Mongolian population exceeds six million and is the largest population among the Mongolic speakers in China. However, the genetic structure and admixture history of the Mongolians are still unclear due to the limited number of samples and lower ...

Trans‐ethnic polygenic risk scores for body mass index: An international hundred K+ cohorts consortium study

Clinical and Translational Medicine, 2023
Background While polygenic risk scores hold significant promise in estimating an individual's risk of developing a complex trait such as obesity, their application in the clinic has, to date, been limited by a lack of data from non‐European populations ...

Male-Dominated Migration and Massive Assimilation of Indigenous East Asians in the Formation of Muslim Hui People in Southwest China

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
The origin and diversification of Muslim Hui people in China via demic or simple cultural diffusion is a long-going debate. We here generated genome-wide data at nearly 700,000 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from 45 Hui and 14 Han Chinese ...

eSMC: a statistical model to infer admixture events from individual genomics data

BMC Genomics, 2022
Background Inferring historical population admixture events yield essential insights in understanding a species demographic history. Methods are available to infer admixture events in demographic history with extant genetic data from multiple sources ...
