Inferring human colonization history using a copying model.

PLoS genetics - 23 May 2008

Hellenthal Garrett, Auton Adam, Falush Daniel

Abstract excerpt

Genome-wide scans of genetic variation can potentially provide detailed information on how modern humans colonized the world but require new methods of analysis. We introduce a statistical approach that uses Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) data to identify sharing of chromosomal segments between populations and uses the pattern of sharing to reconstruct a detailed colonization scenario. We apply our model to...
