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.

The genetic structure of the Turkish population reveals high levels of variation and admixture

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021
Significance We delineated the fine-scale genetic structure of the Turkish population by using sequencing data of 3,362 unrelated Turkish individuals from different geographical origins and demonstrated the position of Turkey in terms of human migration ...

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.

Researching on the fine structure and admixture of the worldwide chicken population reveal connections between populations and important events in breeding history

Evolutionary Applications, 2021
Here, we have evaluated the general genomic structure and diversity and studied the divergence resulting from selection and historical admixture events for a collection of worldwide chicken breeds.

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.

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.

General theory for stochastic admixture graphs and F-statistics [PDF]

, 2018
We provide a general mathematical framework based on the theory of graphical models to study admixture graphs. Admixture graphs are used to describe the ancestral relationships between past and present populations, allowing for population merges and ...

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).

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).
