Generating samples under a Wright-Fisher neutral model of genetic variation.
TL;DR: A Monte Carlo computer program is available to generate samples drawn from a population evolving according to a Wright-Fisher neutral model, and the samples produced can be used to investigate the sampling properties of any sample statistic under these neutral models.

Abstract: A Monte Carlo computer program is available to generate samples drawn from a population evolving according to a Wright-Fisher neutral model. The program assumes an infinite-sites model of mutation, and allows recombination, gene conversion, symmetric migration among subpopulations, and a variety of demographic histories. The samples produced can be used to investigate the sampling properties of any sample statistic under these neutral models.

Inference of Super-exponential Human Population Growth via Efficient Computation of the Site Frequency Spectrum for Generalized Models.
Feng Gao,Alon Keinan +1 more
TL;DR: Applying the inference framework to data from the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, it is found that a model with a generalized growth epoch fits the observed SFS significantly better than the equivalent model with exponential growth (P-value =3.85×10−6).

Adaptive and maladaptive introgression in grapevine domestication
Hua Xiao,Zhongjie Liu,Nan Wang,Shuo Cao,Wenwen Liu,Yanling Peng,Summaira Riaz,Andrew Michael Walker,Brandon S. Gaut,Yongfeng Zhou +9 more
TL;DR: This article found evidence for a single domestication of grapevine with introgression from the wild relative to wine, but not to table, grapes, suggesting that European wild grapes have been an important resource for improving the flavor of wine grapes.

Methods to detect selection on noncoding DNA.
Ying Zhen,Peter Andolfatto +1 more
TL;DR: This chapter reviews some of the current methods that have been developed and applied on noncoding DNA, what they have shown, and how they are limited.
Shedding light on the grey zone of speciation along a continuum of genomic divergence
Camille Roux,Christelle Fraïsse,Jonathan Romiguier,Yoann Anciaux,Nicolas Galtier,Nicolas Bierne +5 more
TL;DR: A comparative analysis of genomic data from 61 pairs of populations/species of animals with variable levels of divergence shows that the intermediate "grey zone" of speciation spans from 0.5% to 2% of net synonymous divergence, irrespective of species life-history traits or ecology.
Detecting Directional Selection in the Presence of Recent Admixture in African Americans
TL;DR: The analysis of both simulated and human resequencing data suggests that recent admixture does not result in an excess of false-positive results for neutrality tests based on the frequency spectrum after accounting for the population growth in the parental African population.

Properties of a neutral allele model with intragenic recombination.
TL;DR: An infinite-site neutral allele model with crossing-over possible at any of an infinite number of sites is studied and the effect of intragenic recombination on the homozygosity test of Watterson and on the number of unique alleles in a sample is determined.
