PCA-correlated SNPs for structure identification in worldwide human populations.

TL;DR: A novel algorithm is presented that is effectively used for the analysis of admixed populations without having to trace the origin of individuals, and can be easily applied on large genome-wide datasets, facilitating the identification of population substructure, stratification assessment in multi-stage whole-genome association studies, and the study of demographic history in human populations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Robust inference of population structure for ancestry prediction and correction of stratification in the presence of relatedness.

TL;DR: PC‐AiR provides a substantial improvement over existing approaches for population structure inference in related samples and can provide improved population stratification correction over existing methods in genetic association studies with population structure and relatedness.
Journal ArticleDOI

Using genetic markers to estimate the pollen dispersal curve

TL;DR: This work generalizes the previously developed twogener method, assuming that the pollen dispersal curve belongs to particular one‐ or two‐parameter families of dispersal curves and estimating simultaneously the parameters of the dispersal Curve and the effective density of reproducing individuals in the population.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inference of Population Structure Under a Dirichlet Process Model

TL;DR: The notion of the mean population partition is developed, which is the partition of individuals to populations that minimizes the squared partition distance to the partitions sampled by the MCMC algorithm.

Coefficients of Inbreeding and Relationship

TL;DR: The importance of having a coefficient by means of which the degree of inbreeding may be expressed has been brought out by Pearl' in a number of papers published between 1913 and 1917.

The material basis of evolution.

TL;DR: Goldschmidt as discussed by the authors argued that macroevolution resulted from larger jumps in genotype across "bridgeless gaps" related either to systemic mutations or to mutations affecting early development.
