Estimating heterozygosity from a low-coverage genome sequence, leveraging data from other individuals sequenced at the same sites
Katarzyna Bryc, Nick Patterson, David Reich
High-throughput shotgun sequence data makes it possible in principle to accurately estimate population genetic parameters without confounding by SNP ascertainment bias. One such st…
Reconstructing Roma history from genome-wide data
Priya Moorjani, Nick Patterson, Po-Ru Loh +9
The Roma people, living throughout Europe, are a diverse population linked by the Romani language and culture. Previous linguistic and genetic studies have suggested that the Roma…
Efficient moment-based inference of admixture parameters and sources of gene flow
Mark Lipson, Po-Ru Loh, Alex Levin +3
The recent explosion in available genetic data has led to significant advances in understanding the demographic histories of and relationships among human populations. It is still…
Inferring Admixture Histories of Human Populations Using Linkage Disequilibrium
Po-Ru Loh, Mark Lipson, Nick Patterson +4
Long-range migrations and the resulting admixtures between populations have been important forces shaping human genetic diversity. Most existing methods for detecting and reconstru…
The date of interbreeding between Neandertals and modern humans
Sriram Sankararaman, Nick Patterson, Heng Li +2
Comparisons of DNA sequences between Neandertals and present-day humans have shown that Neandertals share more genetic variants with non-Africans than with Africans. This could be…
The genetic prehistory of southern Africa
Joseph K. Pickrell, Nick Patterson, Chiara Barbieri +18
Southern and eastern African populations that speak non-Bantu languages with click consonants are known to harbour some of the most ancient genetic lineages in humans, but their re…
