Principal components analysis of population admixture. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 With the availability of high-density genotype information, principal components analysis (PCA) is now routinely used to detect and quantify the genetic structure of populations in both population genetics and genetic epidemiology.

Native American admixture in the Quebec founder population. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 For years, studies of founder populations and genetic isolates represented the mainstream of genetic mapping in the effort to target genetic defects causing Mendelian disorders.

Testing for Ancient Admixture between Closely Related Populations [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2011 One enduring question in evolutionary biology is the extent of archaic admixture in the genomes of present-day populations. In this paper, we present a test for ancient admixture that exploits the asymmetry in the frequencies of the two nonconcordant gene trees in a three-population tree.

AdmixPipe: population analyses in Admixture for non-model organisms [PDF]
BMC Bioinformatics, 2020 Background Research on the molecular ecology of non-model organisms, while previously constrained, has now been greatly facilitated by the advent of reduced-representation sequencing protocols.

Interethnic admixture and the evolution of Latin American populations [PDF]
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2014 A general introduction to the origins and history of Latin American populations is followed by a systematic review of the data from molecular autosomal assessments of the ethnic/continental (European, African, Amerindian) ancestries for 24 Latin American

Indigenous ancestry and admixture in the Uruguayan population [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2021 AbstractThe Amerindian group known as the Charrúas inhabited Uruguay at the timing of European colonial contact. Even though they were extinguished as an ethnic group as a result of a genocide, Charrúan heritage is part of the Uruguayan identity both culturally and genetically.

Population admixture in Chinese and European Sus scrofa. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2017 AbstractRelationships between different populations were investigated using Porcine 60 K data from 1,135 domestic pigs and wild boars across Europe and China. The results indicate that most European breeds have been introgressed with Chinese ancestry, but the extent of introgression varies considerably among breeds.

Evolutionary Genetics and Admixture in African Populations
Genome Biology and Evolution, 2023 Abstract As the ancestral homeland of our species, Africa contains elevated levels of genetic diversity and substantial population structure. Importantly, African genomes are heterogeneous: They contain mixtures of multiple ancestries, each of which have experienced different evolutionary histories.

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.
