Estimating strength of polygenic selection with principal components analysis of spatial genetic variation

2014-08-14

Abstract excerpt

Principal components analysis on allele frequencies for 14 and 50 populations (from 1K Genomes and ALFRED databases) produced a factor accounting for over half of the variance, which indicates selection pressure on intelligence or genotypic IQ. Very high correlations between this factor and phenotypic IQ, educational achievement were observed (r>0.9 and r>0.8), also after partialling out GDP and the Human Developm...
