Table 3 Improving probability of detecting historic admixture

From: Calculating expected DNA remnants from ancient founding events in human population genetics

Genetic Parameters

Experimental Design

• Large Migrant Population

• Identify informative migrant alleles

• Small Native Population

• Test large number of loci

• Low mutation rate at loci of interest

• Large sample size for each population

• Fewer generations since admixture event

• Establish methods for detecting rare alleles

 

• Collaborative approach (Archeology, Anthropology, Linguistics)
