Powerful Inference with the D-Statistic on Low-Coverage Whole-Genome Data

Powerful Inference with the D-Statistic on Low-Coverage Whole-Genome Data

The detection of ancient gene flow between human populations is an important issue in population genetics. A common tool for detecting ancient admixture events is the D-statistic. The D-statistic is based on the hypothesis of a genetic relationship that involves four populations, whose correctness i...
