A note on the distribution of admixture segment lengths and ancestry proportions under pulse and two-wave admixture models
Shai Carmi, James Xue, Itsik Pe'er
Admixed populations are formed by the merging of two or more ancestral populations, and the ancestry of each locus in an admixed genome derives from either source. Consider a simpl…
A renewal theory approach to IBD sharing
Shai Carmi, Peter Wilton, John Wakeley +1
A long genomic segment inherited by a pair of individuals from a single, recent common ancestor is said to be identical-by-descent (IBD). Shared IBD segments have numerous applicat…
The variance of identity-by-descent sharing in the Wright-Fisher model
Shai Carmi, Pier Francesco Palamara, Vladimir Vacic +3
Widespread sharing of long, identical-by-descent (IBD) genetic segments is a hallmark of populations that have experienced recent genetic drift. Detection of these IBD segments has…
