A Genome-Wide Search for Greek and Jewish Admixture in the Kashmiri Population. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The Kashmiri population is an ethno-linguistic group that resides in the Kashmir Valley in northern India. A longstanding hypothesis is that this population derives ancestry from Jewish and/or Greek sources.

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 ...

Fast individual ancestry inference from DNA sequence data leveraging allele frequencies for multiple populations. [PDF]
, 2015 BackgroundEstimation of individual ancestry from genetic data is useful for the analysis of disease association studies, understanding human population history and interpreting personal genomic variation. New, computationally efficient methods are needed

Measurement of admixture proportions and description of admixture structure in different U.S. populations [PDF]
Human Mutation, 2009 Variation in individual admixture proportions leads to heterogeneity within populations. Though novel methods and marker panels have been developed to quantify individual admixture, empirical data describing individual admixture distributions are limited. We investigated variation in individual admixture in four U.S. populations (European American [EA],

Geographic patterns of genome admixture in Latin American Mestizos. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2008 The large and diverse population of Latin America is potentially a powerful resource for elucidating the genetic basis of complex traits through admixture mapping.

Admixture, Population Structure, and F-Statistics [PDF]
Genetics, 2015 Abstract Many questions about human genetic history can be addressed by examining the patterns of shared genetic variation between sets of populations. A useful methodological framework for this purpose is F-statistics that measure shared genetic drift between sets of two, three, and four populations and can be used to test simple and ...

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.
