Inference of population structure using multilocus genotype data.
We describe a model-based clustering method for using multilocus genotype data to infer population structure and assign individuals to populations. We assume a model in which there are K populations (where K may be unknown), each of which is characterized by a set of allele frequencies at each locus. Individuals in the sample are assigned (probabilistically) to populations, or jointly to two or...
متن کاملVariable selection in model-based clustering using multilocus genotype data
We propose a variable selection procedure in model-based clustering multilocus genotype data. Indeed, it may happen that some loci are not relevant for clustering into statistically different populations. Inferring the number K of clusters and the relevant clustering subset S of loci is regarded as a model selection problem. The competing models are compared using penalized maximum likelihood c...
متن کاملInference of population structure using multilocus genotype data: linked loci and correlated allele frequencies.
We describe extensions to the method of Pritchard et al. for inferring population structure from multilocus genotype data. Most importantly, we develop methods that allow for linkage between loci. The new model accounts for the correlations between linked loci that arise in admixed populations ("admixture linkage disequilibium"). This modification has several advantages, allowing (1) detection ...
متن کاملInference of population structure using multilocus genotype data: dominant markers and null alleles
Dominant markers such as amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLPs) provide an economical way of surveying variation at many loci. However, the uncertainty about the underlying genotypes presents a problem for statistical analysis. Similarly, the presence of null alleles and the limitations of genotype calling in polyploids mean that many conventional analysis methods are invalid for many ...
متن کاملA Markov chain Monte Carlo approach for joint inference of population structure and inbreeding rates from multilocus genotype data.
Nonrandom mating induces correlations in allelic states within and among loci that can be exploited to understand the genetic structure of natural populations (Wright 1965). For many species, it is of considerable interest to quantify the contribution of two forms of nonrandom mating to patterns of standing genetic variation: inbreeding (mating among relatives) and population substructure (limi...
