Predicting discovery rates of genomic features
Simon Gravel, NHLBI GO Exome Sequencing Project
Successful sequencing experiments require judicious sample selection. However, this selection must often be performed on the basis of limited preliminary data. Predicting the stati…
The existence and abundance of ghost ancestors in biparental populations
Simon Gravel, Mike Steel
In a randomly-mating biparental population of size there are, with high probability, individuals who are genealogical ancestors of every extant individual within approximately…
Reconstructing the Population Genetic History of the Caribbean
Andres Moreno-Estrada, Simon Gravel, Fouad Zakharia +18
The Caribbean basin is home to some of the most complex interactions in recent history among previously diverged human populations. Here, by making use of genome-wide SNP array dat…
Reconstructing Native American Migrations from Whole-genome and Whole-exome Data
Simon Gravel, Fouad Zakharia, Andres Moreno-Estrada +17
There is great scientific and popular interest in understanding the genetic history of populations in the Americas. We wish to understand when different regions of the continent we…
Population genetics models of local ancestry
Simon Gravel
Migrations have played an important role in shaping the genetic diversity of human populations. Understanding genomic data thus requires careful modeling of historical gene flow. H…
Upper bound on the packing density of regular tetrahedra and octahedra
Simon Gravel, Veit Elser, Yoav Kallus
We obtain an upper bound to the packing density of regular tetrahedra. The bound is obtained by showing the existence, in any packing of regular tetrahedra, of a set of disjoint sp…
