Admixture mapping is based on the hypothesis that differences in disease rates between
populations are due in part to frequency differences in disease-causing genetic variants. In …

Genetic studies of livestock populations focus on questions of domestication, within‐and
among‐breed diversity, breed history and adaptive variation. In this review, we describe the …

Population mixture is an important process in biology. We present a suite of methods for
learning about population mixtures, implemented in a software package called …

Many aspects of the historical relationships between populations in a species are reflected
in genetic data. Inferring these relationships from genetic data, however, remains a …

Modern genetic data combined with appropriate statistical methods have the potential to
contribute substantially to our understanding of human history. We have developed an …

Asia harbors substantial cultural and linguistic diversity, but the geographic structure of
genetic variation across the continent remains enigmatic. Here we report a large-scale …

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 …

Identifying the ancestry of chromosomal segments of distinct ancestry has a wide range of
applications from disease mapping to learning about history. Most methods require the use …

Various observations argue for a role of adaptation in recent human evolution, including
results from genome-wide studies and analyses of selection signals at candidate genes …

Recent studies of early Bronze Age human genomes revealed a massive population
expansion by individuals-related to the Yamnaya culture, from the Pontic Caspian steppe …
