A new statistic for detecting genetic differentiation.
نویسنده
چکیده
A new statistic for detecting genetic differentiation of subpopulations is described. The statistic can be calculated when genetic data are collected on individuals sampled from two or more localities. It is assumed that haplotypic data are obtained, either in the form of DNA sequences or data on many tightly linked markers. Using a symmetric island model, and assuming an infinite-sites model of mutation, it is found that the new statistic is as powerful or more powerful than previously proposed statistics for a wide range of parameter values.

Approximating the step change point of the process fraction non conforming using genetic algorithm to optimize the likelihood function
Control charts are standard statistical process control (SPC) tools for detecting assignable causes. These charts trigger a signal when a process gets out of control but they do not indicate when the process change has begun. Identifying the real time of the change in the process, called the change point, is very important for eliminating the source(s) of the change. Knowing when a process has ...
متن کاملDetecting Outliers in Exponentiated Pareto Distribution
In this paper, we use two statistics for detecting outliers in exponentiated Paretodistribution. These statistics are the extension of the statistics for detecting outliers inexponential and gamma distributions. In fact, we compare the power of our test statisticsbased on the simulation study and identify the better test statistic for detecting outliers inexponentiated Pareto distribution. At t...
متن کاملDetecting signatures of selection through haplotype differentiation among hierarchically structured populations.
The detection of molecular signatures of selection is one of the major concerns of modern population genetics. A widely used strategy in this context is to compare samples from several populations and to look for genomic regions with outstanding genetic differentiation between these populations. Genetic differentiation is generally based on allele frequency differences between populations, whic...

A new method for detecting significant p-values is described in this paper. This method, based on the distribution of the m-th order statistic of a U(0, 1) distribution, is shown to be suitable in applications where m → ∞ independent hypothesis are tested and it is of interest for a fixed type I error probability to determine those being significant while controlling the false positives. Equiva...

Array-based comparative genomic hybridization (ABCGH) is an emerging high-resolution and high-throughput molecular genetic technique that allows genome-wide screening for chromosome alterations associated with tumorigenesis. Like the cDNA microarrays, ABCGH uses two differentially labeled test and reference DNAs which are cohybridized to cloned genomic fragments immobilized on glass slides. The...
