Population Genetic Inference for a Whole Genome Korean Sample
نویسندگان
چکیده
Although other East Asian populations have been interrogated using high throughput sequence data, little is known about the genome-wide patterns of variation in populations residing on the Korean peninsula. Using the 38 whole genome sequences available from the Korean Personal Genome Project (KPGP), we investigated phylogenetic relationships between the samples and several standard population genetic parameters and tests. In particular we infer that a rapid demographic expansion in effective population size occurred sometime in the recent past in the Korean population.

Unveiling the genetic loci for a panicle developmental trait using genome-wide association study in rice
Panicle size has a high correlation with grain yield in rice. There is a bottleneck to identify the additional quantitative trait loci (QTL) for panicle size due to the conventional traits used for QTL mapping. To identify more genetic loci for panicle size, a panicle developmental trait (LNTB, the length from panicle neck-knot to the first primary branch in the rachis) related to panicle size ...
متن کاملLow-pass genome-wide sequencing and variant inference using identity-by-descent in an isolated human population.
Whole-genome sequencing in an isolated population with few founders directly ascertains variants from the population bottleneck that may be rare elsewhere. In such populations, shared haplotypes allow imputation of variants in unsequenced samples without resorting to complex statistical methods as in studies of outbred cohorts. We focus on an isolated population cohort from the Pacific Island o...
متن کاملPopulation genomics identifies the origin and signatures of selection of Korean weedy rice
Weedy rice is the same biological species as cultivated rice (Oryza sativa); it is also a noxious weed infesting rice fields worldwide. Its formation and population-selective or -adaptive signatures are poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the phylogenetics, population structure and signatures of selection of Korean weedy rice by determining the whole genomes of 30 weedy rice, 30 l...
متن کاملThe Pattern of Linkage Disequilibrium in Livestock Genome
Linkage disequilibrium (LD) is bases of genomic selection, genomic marker imputation, marker assisted selection (MAS), quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping, parentage testing and whole genome association studies. The Particular alleles at closed loci have a tendency to be co-inherited. In linked loci this pattern leads to association between alleles in population which is known as LD. Two metr...
متن کاملComparison of Single Genome and Allele Frequency Data Reveals Discordant Demographic Histories
Inference of demographic history from genetic data is a primary goal of population genetics of model and nonmodel organisms. Whole genome-based approaches such as the pairwise/multiple sequentially Markovian coalescent methods use genomic data from one to four individuals to infer the demographic history of an entire population, while site frequency spectrum (SFS)-based methods use the distribu...
