On the number of genealogical ancestors tracing to the source groups of an admixed population
Jazlyn A. Mooney, Lily Agranat-Tamir, Jonathan K. Pritchard +1
In genetically admixed populations, admixed individuals possess ancestry from multiple source groups. Studies of human genetic admixture frequently estimate ancestry components cor…
The deleterious mutation load is insensitive to recent population history
Yuval B. Simons, Michael C. Turchin, Jonathan K. Pritchard +1
Human populations have undergone dramatic changes in population size in the past 100,000 years, including a severe bottleneck of non-African populations and recent explosive popula…
The genetic architecture of adaptations to high altitude in Ethiopia
Gorka Alkorta-Aranburu, Cynthia M. Beall, David B. Witonsky +3
Although hypoxia is a major stress on physiological processes, several human populations have survived for millennia at high altitudes, suggesting that they have adapted to hypoxic…
Inference of population splits and mixtures from genome-wide allele frequency data
Joseph K. Pickrell, Jonathan K. Pritchard
Many aspects of the historical relationships between populations in a species are reflected in genetic data. Inferring these relationships from genetic data, however, remains a cha…
