Estimating Sampling Selection Bias in Human Genetics: A Phenomenological Approach
Davide Risso,Davide Risso,Luca Taglioli,Sergio De Iasio,Paola Gueresi,Guido Alfani,Sergio Nelli,Paolo Rossi,Giorgio Paoli,Sergio Tofanelli +9 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that the sampling of individuals bearing historically documented surnames (founders' method) should be applied, especially when studying the male-specific genome, to prevent an over-stratification of ancient and recent genetic components that heavily biases inferences and statistics.

Kevin P. Byrne,Eoin O'Malley +1 more
TL;DR: This paper used surnames as markers to confirm the obvious explanation for the Northern Ireland party system and then proposed a novel explanation of the Irish party system, and suggested that surnames could be an objective way of studying migration patterns and ethnic heritage.

TL;DR: A protocol for the identification of Ancestry Informative Markers (AIMs) from genome-wide Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) data is proposed and suggests that the protocol could be useful in a scenario involving a larger number of populations.

Dissertation
Statistical issues in modelling the ancestry from Y-chromosome and surname data
TL;DR: A model of TMRCA estimation based on the difference in repeat numbers in pairs of male haplotypes using a Bayesian framework and Markov-Chain Monte-Carlo techniques, which incorporates the process of STR discovery and the calibration of mutation rates, which can differ across STRs.

Median-joining networks for inferring intraspecific phylogenies.
TL;DR: A method for constructing networks from recombination-free population data that combines features of Kruskal's algorithm for finding minimum spanning trees by favoring short connections, and Farris's maximum-parsimony (MP) heuristic algorithm, which sequentially adds new vertices called "median vectors", except that the MJ method does not resolve ties.
