Objectives: We present an up-to-date review of STRUCTURE software: one of the most
widely used population analysis tools that allows researchers to assess patterns of genetic …

In this review, we describe recent empirical and theoretical work on the extent of linkage
disequilibrium (LD) in the human genome, comparing the predictions of simple population …

We describe extensions to the method of Pritchard et al. for inferring population structure
from multilocus genotype data. Most importantly, we develop methods that allow for linkage …

A central aim of genome-wide association studies (GWASs) is to estimate direct genetic
effects: the causal effects on an individual's phenotype of the alleles that they carry …

Particular alleles at neighbouring loci tend to be co-inherited. For tightly linked loci, this
might lead to associations between alleles in the population—a property known as linkage …

Human Evolutionary Genetics is a groundbreaking text which for the first time brings
together molecular genetics and genomics to the study of the origins and movements of …

Background Previously, we have shown that bacterial cold water disease (BCWD)
resistance in rainbow trout can be improved using traditional family-based selection, but …

Human facial diversity is substantial, complex, and largely scientifically unexplained. We
used spatially dense quasi-landmarks to measure face shape in population samples with …

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the United States, with up to
30% of those diagnosed displaying a family history of breast cancer. To date, 18% of the …

Ancestry informative markers (AIMs) are genetic loci showing alleles with large frequency
differences between populations. AIMs can be used to estimate biogeographical ancestry at …
