Algorithms for Inferring Recombination and Association Mapping in Populations
A current high priority research goal is to understand how genetic variations influence complex genetic diseases (or more generally traits). Recombination is an important biological and genetic process that plays a major role in the logic behind association mapping, a currently intensely studied method widely hoped to efficiently find genes (alleles) associated with complex diseases. Recently, ...
متن کاملLarge-scale recombination rate patterns are conserved among human populations.
In humans, most recombination events occur in a small fraction of the genome. These hotspots of recombination show considerable variation in intensity and/or location across species and, potentially, across human populations. On a larger scale, the patterns of recombination rates have been mostly investigated in individuals of European ancestry, and it remains unknown whether the results obtain...
متن کاملChromosomal patterns of microsatellite variability contrast sharply in African and non-African populations of Drosophila melanogaster.
Levels of neutral variation are influenced by background selection and hitchhiking. The relative contribution of these evolutionary forces to the distribution of neutral variation is still the subject of ongoing debates. Using 133 microsatellites, we determined levels of variability on X chromosomes and autosomes in African and non-African D. melanogaster populations. In the ancestral African p...
متن کاملDiverse sources of infection and cryptic recombination revealed in South African Diplodia pinea populations.
This study considers the population diversity and structure of Diplodia pinea in South Africa at different spatial scales from single trees to plantations, as well as comparing infections on healthy and diseased trees. A total of 236 isolates were characterized using 13 microsatellite markers. Analysis of these markers confirmed previous results that D. pinea has a high level of gene and genoty...
متن کاملInferring paternal history of rural African-derived Brazilian populations from Y chromosomes.
OBJECTIVES Quilombo remnants are relics of communities founded by runaway or abandoned African slaves, but often with subsequent extensive and complex admixture patterns with European and Native Americans. We combine a genetic study of Y-chromosome markers with anthropological surveys in order to obtain a portrait of quilombo structure and history in the region that has the largest number of qu...
