Estimating the timing of multiple admixture events using 3-locus Linkage Disequilibrium

Mason Liang, Mikhail Shishkin, Anastasia Mikhailova, Vladimir Shchur, Rasmus Nielsen

The paper develops a method to estimate multiple admixture events using 3-locus linkage disequilibrium, demonstrating its accuracy on simulated data and applying it to Colombian and Mexican populations.

Understanding Admixture Fractions

Mason Liang, Rasmus Nielsen

The paper develops theoretical results to predict admixture fraction distributions and applies them to estimate admixture parameters from HapMap data, finding that African American population history better fits a model of constant gene flow than a single admixture event.
