Distinguishing Recent Admixture from Ancestral Population Structure
Wedevelopandtest twomethods fordistinguishingbetweenrecentadmixtureandancestralpopulationstructureasexplanations for greater similarity of one of two populations to an outgroup population. This problem arose when Neanderthals were found to be slightly more similar to nonAfrican than to African populations. The excess similarity is consistent with both recent admixture from Neanderthals into the...
متن کاملRecent genetic selection in the ancestral admixture of Puerto Ricans.
Recent studies have used dense markers to examine the human genome in ancestrally homogeneous populations for hallmarks of selection. No genomewide studies have focused on recently admixed groups--populations that have experienced admixing among continentally divided ancestral populations within the past 200-500 years. New World admixed populations are unique in that they represent the sudden c...
متن کاملAdmixture, Population Structure, and F-Statistics.
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 isF-statistics that measure shared genetic drift between sets of two, three, and four populations and can be used to test simple and complex hypotheses about admixture between populations. This article p...
متن کاملTrypanosoma cruzi: ancestral genomes and population structure.
Although the genome of Trypanosoma cruzi has been completely sequenced, little is known about its population structure and evolution. Since 1999, two major evolutionary lineages presenting distinct epidemiological characteristics have been recognised: T. cruzi I and T. cruzi II. We describe new and important aspects of the population structure of the parasite, and unequivocally characterise a t...
متن کاملAnalysis of recent and ancestral recombination reveals high-resolution population structure in Streptococcus pneumoniae
Bacterial population genomic analyses rely on identification of genetic recombinations, but growing databases represent a challenge for computational methods to detect these recombinations and interpret sequence ancestry. We introduce a novel algorithm called fastGEAR which identifies major lineages in diverse microbial alignments and recombinations between them. The algorithm can detect not on...
