Genetic assignment methods for the direct, real-time estimation of migration rate: a simulation-based exploration of accuracy and power.

Abstract excerpt

Genetic assignment methods use genotype likelihoods to draw inference about where individuals were or were not born, potentially allowing direct, real-time estimates of dispersal. We used simulated data sets to test the power and accuracy of Monte Carlo resampling methods in generating statistical thresholds for identifying F0 immigrants in populations with ongoing gene flow, and hence for providing direct,...
