Recent African gene flow responsible for excess of old rare genetic variation in Great Britain

2017-09-19

Abstract excerpt

Population genomic studies can reveal the allele frequencies at millions of SNPs, with the numbers of observed low frequency SNPs increasing as more genomes are sequenced. Rare alleles tend to be younger than common alleles and are especially useful for studying demographic history, selection and heritability 1,2 . However, allele frequency can be a poor proxy for allele age, as genetic drift and natural selectio...
