Powerful Inference with the D-statistic on Low-Coverage Whole-Genome Data

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The detection of ancient gene flow between human populations is an important issue in population genetics. A common tool for detecting ancient admixture events is the D-statistic. The D-statistic is based on the hypothesis of a genetic relationship that involves four populations, whose correctness is assessed by evaluating specific coincidences of alleles between the groups. When working with hi...
