Detecting directional selection in the presence of recent admixture in African-Americans.

Genetics - 1 Mar 2011

Lohmueller Kirk E, Bustamante Carlos D, Clark Andrew G

Abstract excerpt

We investigate the performance of tests of neutrality in admixed populations using plausible demographic models for African-American history as well as resequencing data from African and African-American populations. The analysis of both simulated and human resequencing data suggests that recent admixture does not result in an excess of false-positive results for neutrality tests based on the frequency spectrum...
