Causal effects on complex traits are similar for common variants across segments of different continental ancestries within admixed individuals
Individuals of admixed ancestries (for example, African Americans) inherit a mosaic of
ancestry segments (local ancestry) originating from multiple continental ancestral …

Tractor uses local ancestry to enable the inclusion of admixed individuals in GWAS and to boost power
Admixed populations are routinely excluded from genomic studies due to concerns over
population structure. Here, we present a statistical framework and software package, Tractor …

Genome-wide admixture mapping identifies wild ancestry-of-origin segments in cultivated Robusta coffee
Humans have had a major influence on the dissemination of crops beyond their native
range, thereby offering new hybridization opportunities. Characterizing admixed genomes …

Genomic estimation of quantitative genetic parameters in wild admixed populations
Heritable genetic variation among free‐living animals or plants is essential for populations to
respond to selection and adapt. It is therefore important to be able to estimate additive …
