BMC Genetics, 2020 Background Quantitative traits are typically considered to be under additive genetic control. Although there are indications that non-additive factors have the potential to contribute to trait variation, experimental demonstration remains scarce.

Genetic similarity versus genetic ancestry groups as sample descriptors in human genetics [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 A common sample descriptor in human genomics studies is that of 'genetic ancestry group', with terms such as 'European genetic ancestry' or 'East Asian genetic ancestry' frequently used in publications to describe the genetics of groups of individuals based on the analysis of their genotypes.

The opportunities and challenges of integrating population histories into genetic studies of diverse populations: a motivating example from Native Hawaiians [PDF]
Front. Genet., 27 September 2021, 2020 There is an urgent and well-recognized need to extend genetic studies to diverse populations, but several obstacles continue to be prohibitive, including (but not limited to) the difficulty of recruiting individuals from diverse populations in large numbers and the lack of representation in available genomic references. These obstacles notwithstanding,

Efficient pedigree recording for fast population genetics simulation
bioRxiv, 2018 In this paper we describe how to efficiently record the entire genetic history of a population in forwards-time, individual-based population genetics simulations with arbitrary breeding models, population structure and demography.

Human genetic admixture through the lens of population genomics [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Over the last fifty years, geneticists have made great strides in understanding how our species' evolutionary history gave rise to current patterns of human genetic diversity classically summarized by Lewontin in his 1972 paper, 'The Apportionment of Human Diversity'.

Population Genetics with Fluctuating Population Sizes [PDF]
Journal of statistical physics, 2016 Standard neutral population genetics theory with a strictly fixed population size has important limitations. An alternative model that allows independently fluctuating population sizes and reproduces the standard neutral evolution is reviewed.

Dismantling a dogma: the inflated significance of neutral genetic diversity in conservation genetics [PDF]
, 2020 The current rate of species extinction is rapidly approaching unprecedented highs and life on Earth presently faces a sixth mass extinction event driven by anthropogenic activity, climate change and ecological collapse. The field of conservation genetics aims at preserving species by using their levels of genetic diversity, usually measured as neutral ...

Neutral Theory, Microbial Practice: Challenges in Bacterial Population Genetics
Molecular biology and evolution, 2018 I detail four major open problems in microbial population genetics with direct implications to the study of molecular evolution: the lack of neutral polymorphism, the modeling of promiscuous genetic exchanges, the genetics of ill‐defined populations, and
