Estimating individual admixture proportions from next generation sequencing data.
Inference of population structure and individual ancestry is important both for population genetics and for association studies. With next generation sequencing technologies it is possible to obtain genetic data for all accessible genetic variations in the genome. Existing methods for admixture analysis rely on known genotypes. However, individual genotypes cannot be inferred from low-depth seq...
متن کاملInferring purging from pedigree data.
The harmful effects of inbreeding can be reduced if deleterious recessive alleles were removed (purged) by selection against homozygotes in earlier generations. If only a few generations are involved, purging is due almost entirely to recessive alleles that reduce fitness to near zero. In this case the amount of purging and allele frequency change can be inferred approximately from pedigree dat...
متن کاملEstimating population size using single‐nucleotide polymorphism‐based pedigree data
Reliable population estimates are an important aspect of sustainable wildlife management and conservation but can be difficult to obtain for rare and elusive species. Here, we test a new census method based on pedigree reconstruction recently developed by Creel and Rosenblatt (2013). Using a panel of 96 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), we genotyped fecal samples from two Swedish brown be...
متن کاملInferring admixture proportions from molecular data.
We derive here two new estimators of admixture proportions based on a coalescent approach that explicitly takes into account molecular information as well as gene frequencies. These estimators can be applied to any type of molecular data (such as DNA sequences, restriction fragment length polymorphisms [RFLPs], or microsatellite data) for which the extent of molecular diversity is related to co...
متن کاملEstimating venous admixture using a physiological simulator.
Estimation of venous admixture in patients with impaired gas exchange allows monitoring of disease progression, efficacy of interventions and assessment of the optimal inspired oxygen fraction. A pulmonary artery catheter allows accurate measurement, although the associated risks preclude its use solely for estimation of venous admixture. Non-invasive methods require assumed values for physiolo...
