Population structure inferred by local spatial autocorrelation: an example from an Amerindian tribal population.

American journal of physical anthropology - 1 Jan 2006

Sokal Robert R, Thomson Barbara A

Abstract excerpt

Spatial autocorrelation (SA) methods were recently extended to detect local spatial autocorrelation (LSA) at individual localities. LSA statistics serve as useful indicators of local genetic population structure. We applied this method to 15 allele frequencies from 43 villages of a South American tribe, the Yanomama. Based on a network of links <or=51 km between neighboring villages, we calculated LSA statistics...
