Sampling effect in predicting the evolutionary response of populations to climate change.

Molecular ecology resources
Genomic data and machine learning approaches have gained interest due to their potential to identify adaptive genetic variation across populations and to assess species vulnerability to climate change. By identifying gene-environment associations for...

Genomic and machine learning-based screening of aquaculture-associated introgression into at-risk wild North American Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) populations.

Molecular ecology resources
The negative genetic impacts of gene flow from domestic to wild populations can be dependent on the degree of domestication and exacerbated by the magnitude of pre-existing genetic differences between wild populations and the domestication source. Re...

Estimating resistance surfaces using gradient forest and allelic frequencies.

Molecular ecology resources
Understanding landscape connectivity has become a global priority for mitigating the impact of landscape fragmentation on biodiversity. Connectivity methods that use link-based methods traditionally rely on relating pairwise genetic distance between ...

Hybrid autoencoder with orthogonal latent space for robust population structure inference.

Scientific reports
Analysis of population structure and genomic ancestry remains an important topic in human genetics and bioinformatics. Commonly used methods require high-quality genotype data to ensure accurate inference. However, in practice, laboratory artifacts a...

Haplotype and population structure inference using neural networks in whole-genome sequencing data.

Genome research
Accurate inference of population structure is important in many studies of population genetics. Here we present HaploNet, a method for performing dimensionality reduction and clustering of genetic data. The method is based on local clustering of phas...

Evolution and dispersal of mitochondrial DNA haplogroup U5 in Northern Europe: insights from an unsupervised learning approach to phylogeography.

BMC genomics
BACKGROUND: We combined an unsupervised learning methodology for analyzing mitogenome sequences with maximum likelihood (ML) phylogenetics to make detailed inferences about the evolution and diversification of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroup U5,...

A new linear combination method of haplogroup distribution central vectors to model population admixtures.

Molecular genetics and genomics : MGG
We introduce a novel population genetic approach suitable to model the origin and relationships of populations, using new computation methods analyzing Hg frequency distributions. Hgs were selected into groups which show correlated frequencies in sub...

Autosomal deletion/insertion polymorphisms for global stratification analyses and ancestry origin inferences of different continental populations by machine learning methods.

Electrophoresis
A lot of population data of 30 deletion/insertion polymorphisms (DIPs) of the Investigator DIPplex kit in different continental populations have been reported. Here, we assessed genetic distributions of these 30 DIPs in different continental populati...

A Hybrid Supervised Approach to Human Population Identification Using Genomics Data.

IEEE/ACM transactions on computational biology and bioinformatics
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are one type of genetic variations and each SNP represents a difference in a single DNA building block, namely a nucleotide. Previous research demonstrated that SNPs can be used to identify the correct source po...

On the Unfounded Enthusiasm for Soft Selective Sweeps III: The Supervised Machine Learning Algorithm That Isn't.

Genes
In the last 15 years or so, soft selective sweep mechanisms have been catapulted from a curiosity of little evolutionary importance to a ubiquitous mechanism claimed to explain most adaptive evolution and, in some cases, most evolution. This transfor...
