Phylogenomics has revealed the remarkable frequency with which introgression occurs
across the tree of life. These discoveries have been enabled by the rapid growth of methods …

Assignment methods, which use genetic information to ascertain population membership of
individuals or groups of individuals, have been used in recent years to study a wide range of …

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 …

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 …

Genetic data obtained on population samples convey information about their evolutionary
history. Inference methods can extract part of this information but they require sophisticated …

The spread of culture and language in human populations is explained by two alternative
models: the demic diffusion model, which involves mass movement of people; and the …

The mutation process at microsatellite loci typically occurs at high rates and with stepwise
changes in allele sizes, features that may introduce bias when using classical measures of …

The origins of South America's domestic alpaca and llama remain controversial due to
hybridization, near extirpation during the Spanish conquest and difficulties in archaeological …

Estimating the proportions of different ancestries in admixed populations is very important in
population genetics studies, and it is particularly important for detecting population …

A general introduction to the origins and history of Latin American populations is followed by
a systematic review of the data from molecular autosomal assessments of the …
