Discovery of Genomic Characteristics and Selection Signatures in Southern Chinese Local Cattle

Frontiers in Genetics, 2020
Chinese local cattle with a high level of genetic diversity mainly originate from two subspecies; the cattle in northern China are primarily Bos Taurus, and the cattle in southern China are primarily Bos indicus.

Distinguishing Recent Admixture from Ancestral Population Structure [PDF]

Genome Biology and Evolution, 2017
We develop and test two methods for distinguishing between recent admixture and ancestral population structure as explanations for greater similarity of one of two populations to an outgroup population. This problem arose when Neanderthals were found to be slightly more similar to nonAfrican than to African populations.

Genetic Diversity and Low Stratification of the Population of the United Arab Emirates

Frontiers in Genetics, 2020
With high consanguinity rates on the Arabian Peninsula, it would not have been unexpected if the population of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) was shown to be relatively homogenous.

Genetic diversity and population structure of sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] in Ethiopia as revealed by microsatellite markers

Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica. Section B, Soil and Plant Science, 2022
Ethiopia is the center of origin of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.). Understanding of the genetic diversity of the species is fundamental to design appropriate conservation and management strategies.

A method for inferring an individual’s genetic ancestry and degree of admixture associated with six major continental populations

Frontiers in Genetics, 2013
The determination of the ancestry and genetic backgrounds of the subjects in genetic and general epidemiology studies is a crucial component in the analysis of relevant outcomes or associations.

Admixture Correction in the Outgroup-f3 Statistic [PDF]

, 2018
Genetic inheritance can be studied within a purely genetic scope. However, this eliminates part of the picture. The field of genetics is often thought of as a natural science with little in common with fields of social science. However, in human genetics

Population admixture modulates risk for alcohol dependence [PDF]

Human Genetics, 2009
The admixture of different ancestral populations in America may have important implications for the risk for psychiatric disorders, as it appears to have for other medical disorders. The present study investigated the role of population admixture in risk for several psychiatric disorders in European-Americans (EAs) and African-Americans (AAs).

A Genomewide Admixture Map for Latino Populations [PDF]

The American Journal of Human Genetics, 2007
Admixture mapping is an economical and powerful approach for localizing disease genes in populations of recently mixed ancestry and has proven successful in African Americans. The method holds equal promise for Latinos, who typically inherit a mix of European, Native American, and African ancestry.

Admixture in the Hispanics of the San Luis Valley, Colorado, and its implications for complex trait gene mapping. [PDF]

, 2004
Hispanic populations are a valuable resource that can and should facilitate the identification of complex trait genes by means of admixture mapping (AM).

Population Genomics of Speciation and Admixture [PDF]

, 2018
The application of population genomics to the understanding of speciation has led to the emerging field of speciation genomics. This has brought new insight into how divergence builds up within the genome during speciation and is also revealing the extent to which species can continue to exchange genetic material despite reproductive barriers.
