Worldwide Estimates Relative to Five Continental-Scale Populations
We estimate the population genetics parameter FST (also referred to as the fixation index) from short tandem repeat (STR) allele frequencies, comparing many worldwide human subpopulations at approximately the national level with continental-scale populations. FST is commonly used to measure population differentiation, and is important in forensic DNA analysis to account for remote shared ancest...
متن کاملMathematical 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 کاملAncestry informative markers for fine-scale individual assignment to worldwide populations.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The analysis of large-scale genetic data from thousands of individuals has revealed the fact that subtle population genetic structure can be detected at levels that were previously unimaginable. Using the Human Genome Diversity Panel as reference (51 populations - 650,000 SNPs), this works describes a systematic evaluation of the resolution that can be achieved for the infer...
متن کاملEmpirical Distributions of FST from Large-Scale Human Polymorphism Data
Studies of the apportionment of human genetic variation have long established that most human variation is within population groups and that the additional variation between population groups is small but greatest when comparing different continental populations. These studies often used Wright's F(ST) that apportions the standardized variance in allele frequencies within and between population...
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...
