Mathematical Constraints on FST: Biallelic Markers in Arbitrarily Many Populations.
[Formula: see text] is one of the most widely used statistics in population genetics. Recent mathematical studies have identified constraints that challenge interpretations of [Formula: see text] as a measure with potential to range from 0 for genetically similar populations to 1 for divergent populations. We generalize results obtained for population pairs to arbitrarily many populations, char...
متن کاملMathematical properties of Fst between admixed populations and their parental source populations.
We consider the properties of the F(st) measure of genetic divergence between an admixed population and its parental source populations. Among all possible populations admixed among an arbitrary set of parental populations, we show that the value of F(st) between an admixed population and a specific source population is maximized when the admixed population is simply the most distant of the oth...
متن کاملSolving Existentially Quantified Constraints with One Equality and Arbitrarily Many Inequalities
This paper contains the first algorithm that can solve disjunctions of constraints of the form ∃y ∈B [f = 0 ∧ g1 ≥ 0 ∧ . . . ∧ gk ≥ 0] in free variables x, terminating for all cases when this results in a numerically well-posed problem. The only assumption on the terms f, g1, . . . , gn is the existence of a pruning function, as given by the usual constraint propagation algorithms or by interva...
متن کاملEstimates of Genetic Differentiation Measured by FST Do Not Necessarily Require Large Sample Sizes When Using Many SNP Markers
Population genetic studies provide insights into the evolutionary processes that influence the distribution of sequence variants within and among wild populations. F(ST) is among the most widely used measures for genetic differentiation and plays a central role in ecological and evolutionary genetic studies. It is commonly thought that large sample sizes are required in order to precisely infer...
متن کاملMathematical Constraints on Gauge in Maxwellian Electrodynamics
The structure of classical electrodynamics based on the variational principle together with causality and spacetime homogeneity is analyzed. It is proved that in this case the 4-potentials are defined uniquely. On the other hand, the approach where Maxwell equations and the Lorentz law of force are regarded as cornerstones of the theory allows gauge transformations. For this reason, the two the...
