Inference of human population history from individual whole-genome sequences
The history of human population size is important for understanding human evolution. Various studies have found evidence for a founder event (bottleneck) in East Asian and European populations, associated with the human dispersal out-of-Africa event around 60 thousand years (kyr) ago. However, these studies have had to assume simplified demographicmodelswith fewparameters, and they do not provi...
متن کاملInference of complex population histories using whole-genome sequences from multiple populations
There has been much interest in analyzing genome-scale DNA sequence data to infer population histories, but the inference methods developed hitherto are limited in model complexity and computational scalability. Here, we present an e cient, flexible statistical method that can utilize whole-genome sequence data from multiple populations to infer complex demographic models involving population s...
متن کاملInference of homologous recombination in bacteria using whole-genome sequences.
Bacteria and archaea reproduce clonally, but sporadically import DNA into their chromosomes from other organisms. In many of these events, the imported DNA replaces an homologous segment in the recipient genome. Here we present a new method to reconstruct the history of recombination events that affected a given sample of bacterial genomes. We introduce a mathematical model that represents both...
متن کاملReconstructing the Demographic History of the Human Lineage Using Whole-Genome Sequences from Human and Three Great Apes
The demographic history of human would provide helpful information for identifying the evolutionary events that shaped the humanity but remains controversial even in the genomic era. To settle the controversies, we inferred the speciation times (T) and ancestral population sizes (N) in the lineage leading to human and great apes based on whole-genome alignment. A coalescence simulation determin...
متن کاملPopulation Genetic Inference for a Whole Genome Korean Sample
Although other East Asian populations have been interrogated using high throughput sequence data, little is known about the genome-wide patterns of variation in populations residing on the Korean peninsula. Using the 38 whole genome sequences available from the Korean Personal Genome Project (KPGP), we investigated phylogenetic relationships between the samples and several standard population g...
