1 lis 1985 · In this paper, we examine a very flexible matrix combinatorial procedure which generates statistical significance levels for correlational measures of pattern similarity between distance...
1 kwi 2016 · Genetic distance is the degree of gene difference (genomic difference) between species or populations that is measured by some numerical method. Genetic distance measures have already been...
1 mar 2002 · When populations can be defined a priori, one option is to analyze genetic “isolation by distance” (sensu Wright 1943) by plotting the genetic similarity (or distance) among population pairs as a function of the geographic distance between those pairs.
Abstract. Recent years have seen the birth of sociogenomics via the infusion of molec-ular genetic data. We chronicle the history of genetics, focusing particularly on post-2005 genome-wide association studies, the post-2015 big data era, and the emergence of polygenic scores.
This chapter introduces some of the methodologies used in estimating genetic distances, how we analyze them, and how we portray our results in a graphical fashion amenable for interpretation. Underlying most estimates of genetic distance are sets of geometric and/or evolutionary assumptions.
The emergence of the ‘new genetics’ can be marked by Watson and Crick’s 1953 discovery of the double helix structure of DNA. This set the stage for the emergence of a new field, ‘mole-cular biology’, and the eventual development of research on genetic struc-ture.
We describe methods for estimating the variance of linear combinations of genetic-distance statistics. We also suggest a method for constructing confidence intervals on genetic-distance statistics when these values are small (<(M0) and their distribution deviates substantially from normal. 1.
