DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-42385-6
Abstract: Haplotype-based methods are a cost-effective alternative to characterize unobserved rare variants and map disease-associated alleles. Moreover, they can be used to reconstruct recent population history, which shaped distribution of rare variants and thus can be… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/gbe/evac088
Abstract: Abstract As both natural selection and population history can affect genome-wide patterns of variation, disentangling the contributions of each has remained as a major challenge in population genetics. We here discuss historical and recent progress… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/gbe/evad006
Abstract: Abstract The Resande are a minority ethnic group in Sweden, who were characterized by an itinerant way of life, and they have been suggested to originate from the mixture between Swedish and Romani populations. Because… read more here.

The Impact of Purifying and Background Selection on the Inference of Population History: Problems and Prospects

DOI: 10.1093/molbev/msab050
Abstract: Abstract Current procedures for inferring population history generally assume complete neutrality—that is, they neglect both direct selection and the effects of selection on linked sites. We here examine how the presence of direct purifying selection… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsos.201146
Abstract: Oceanic island archipelagos provide excellent models to understand evolutionary processes. Colonization events and gene flow can interact with selection to shape genetic variation at different spatial scales. Landscape-scale variation in biotic and abiotic factors may… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0277771
Abstract: As a historical nomadic group in Central Asia, Kazaks have mainly inhabited the steppe zone from the Altay Mountains in the East to the Caspian Sea in the West. Fine scale characterization of the genetic… read more here.

DOI: 10.7554/elife.85492
Abstract: Our understanding of population history in deep time has been assisted by fitting admixture graphs ('AGs') to data: models that specify the ordering of population splits and mixtures, which along with the amount of genetic… read more here.
