Genetic and Genealogical Ancestors
نویسنده
چکیده
15.4.2011 The genealogical ancestors to an individual are the the individuals that can be reached by a string of operators mother/father to that individual, like motherfatherfather. Within that set are the individuals, that has genetic material that was transmitted to the present individual. Genetic ancestry is in general given more attention as that is a component in genetic analysis and mapping, while ancestors that does not carry ancestral material is irrelevant in this respect. However, it is of principal interest and with the surge of possibility of inference of familial relationships, then it is worth pursuing these questions. Chang, Derrida, Møhle, Kammerle, Sagitov and others have investigated models of genealogical ancestry. Matsen and Evans (2008 ME08) investigated a simple model that added genetic ancestry from a single locus to these models and many interesting results were obtained. ME08 combined a model of choosing parents with a model of choosing ancestors to two alleles within the chosen parents.

The Geography of Recent Genetic Ancestry across Europe
The recent genealogical history of human populations is a complex mosaic formed by individual migration, large-scale population movements, and other demographic events. Population genomics datasets can provide a window into this recent history, as rare traces of recent shared genetic ancestry are detectable due to long segments of shared genomic material. We make use of genomic data for 2,257 E...
متن کاملGenetic variability and population structure of Raeini Cashmere goat breed assessed from pedigree analysis
Pedigree information which collected from 1979 to 2012 were used to study the genetic variability and population structure of Raeini Cashmere goat, taking kids born from 2009 to 2012 into account as reference population. Averages of inbreeding coefficients in whole and inbred populations were computed to be 0.04% and 4.41%, respectively. Considering the reference population, average inbreeding ...

Recent statistical and computational analyses have shown that a genealogical most recent common ancestor (MRCA) may have lived in the recent past [Chang, J.T., 1999. Recent common ancestors of all present-day individuals. Adv. Appl. Probab. 31, 1002-1026. 1027-1038; Rohde, D.L.T., Olson, S., Chang, J.T., 2004.

متن کاملThe existence and abundance of ghost ancestors in biparental populations.
In a randomly-mating biparental population of size N there are, with high probability, individuals who are genealogical ancestors of every extant individual within approximately log2(N) generations into the past. We use this result of J. Chang to prove a curious corollary under standard models of recombination: there exist, with high probability, individuals within a constant multiple of log2(N...
