The population genetics of dN/dS. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2008
Evolutionary pressures on proteins are often quantified by the ratio of substitution rates at non-synonymous and synonymous sites. The dN/dS ratio was originally developed for application to distantly diverged sequences, the differences among which ...

Population-Matched Transcriptome Prediction Increases TWAS Discovery and Replication Rate

open access: yesiScience, 2020
Summary: Most genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS) focus on European populations; however, these results cannot always be accurately applied to non-European populations due to genetic architecture ...

Archetypal Analysis for population genetics.

open access: yesPLoS Computational Biology, 2022
The estimation of genetic clusters using genomic data has application from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to demographic history to polygenic risk scores (PRS) and is expected to play an important role in the analyses of increasingly diverse ...

Information-Geometric Optimization with Natural Selection

open access: yesEntropy, 2020
Evolutionary algorithms, inspired by natural evolution, aim to optimize difficult objective functions without computing derivatives. Here we detail the relationship between classical population genetics of quantitative traits and evolutionary ...

Chromosomal phase improves aneuploidy detection in non-invasive prenatal testing at low fetal DNA fractions

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) to detect fetal aneuploidy by sequencing the cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in maternal plasma is being broadly adopted. To detect fetal aneuploidies from maternal plasma, where fetal DNA is mixed with far-larger amounts of ...

The Pennsylvania grotto sculpin: population genetics [PDF]

open access: yesSubterranean Biology, 2021
The Pennsylvania grotto sculpin is known from just two caves of the Nippenose Valley in central Pennsylvania, USA. They exhibit emergent troglobitic morphological traits and are the second northern-most cave adapted fish in the world.
