Characterizing neutral genomic diversity and selection signatures in indigenous populations of Moroccan goats (Capra hircus) using WGS data
Since the time of their domestication, goats (Capra hircus) have evolved in a large variety of locally adapted populations in response to different human and environmental pressures. In the present era, many indigenous populations are threatened with extinction due to their substitution by cosmopolitan breeds, while they might represent highly valuable genomic resources. It is thus crucial to c...
متن کاملBayesian variable selection for detecting adaptive genomic differences among populations.
We extend an F(st)-based Bayesian hierarchical model, implemented via Markov chain Monte Carlo, for the detection of loci that might be subject to positive selection. This model divides the F(st)-influencing factors into locus-specific effects, population-specific effects, and effects that are specific for the locus in combination with the population. We introduce a Bayesian auxiliary variable ...
متن کاملCharacterizing Global Minimizers of the Difference of Two Positive Valued Affine Increasing and Co-radiant Functions
Many optimization problems can be reduced to a problem with an increasing and co-radiant objective function by a suitable transformation of variables. Functions, which are increasing and co-radiant, have found many applications in microeconomic analysis. In this paper, the abstract convexity of positive valued affine increasing and co-radiant (ICR) functions are discussed. Moreover, the ...
متن کاملCorrection: A Genomic Portrait of Haplotype Diversity and Signatures of Selection in Indigenous Southern African Populations
We report a study of genome-wide, dense SNP (*900K) and copy number polymorphism data of indigenous southern Africans. We demonstrate the genetic contribution to southern and eastern African populations, which involved admixture between indigenous San, NigerCongo-speaking and populations of Eurasian ancestry. This finding illustrates the need to account for stratification in genome-wide associa...
متن کاملA Genomic Portrait of Haplotype Diversity and Signatures of Selection in Indigenous Southern African Populations
We report a study of genome-wide, dense SNP (∼ 900K) and copy number polymorphism data of indigenous southern Africans. We demonstrate the genetic contribution to southern and eastern African populations, which involved admixture between indigenous San, Niger-Congo-speaking and populations of Eurasian ancestry. This finding illustrates the need to account for stratification in genome-wide assoc...
