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.

European and Polynesian admixture in the Norfolk Island population [PDF]
Heredity, 2009 The Norfolk Island population in the South Pacific is primarily the product of recent admixture between a small number of British male and Polynesian female founders. We identified and genotyped 128 Ancestry Informative Markers (AIMs) spread across the autosomes, X/Y chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA genome, to explore and quantify the current levels ...

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 ...

Population admixture in Chinese and European Sus scrofa [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 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.

AdFiT v1.7 (Admixture Files Tool): input files creating tool for population genetic admixture estimation software [PDF]
Bulletins et Mémoires de la Société d’Anthropologie de Paris, 2009 The six most commonly used software programs in the literature for population genetic admixture estimation since 20 years, are ADMIX, ADMIX95, Mistura, Admix 2.0, LEA, and LEADMIX, and each one has its own specific file format and filename extensions. We

Recent Admixture in an Indian Population of African Ancestry [PDF]
The American Journal of Human Genetics, 2011 Identification and study of genetic variation in recently admixed populations not only provides insight into historical population events but also is a powerful approach for mapping disease loci. We studied a population (OG-W-IP) that is of African-Indian origin and has resided in the western part of India for 500 years; members of this population are ...

Gene Admixture in the Costa Rican Population
Annals of Human Genetics, 2003 SummaryThe general population of Costa Rica has sometimes been considered to be the product of an amalgamation of groups of diverse origin. To determine the magnitude of accumulated admixture since Spanish colonization, 11 classic genetic markers were analyzed in a total of 2196 individuals originating from five distinct regions of the country.
