The morning session of the workshop will describe the genetic admixture approach from a molecular, population and methodological perspective and will illustrate its application to complex disease-related traits.

Genetic admixture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Admixture occurs when individuals from two or more previously separated populations begin interbreeding. Admixture results in the introduction of new genetic lineages into a population.

A variety of methods are available for estimating genetic admixture proportions in populations; however, few investigators have conducted detailed comparisons using empirical data.

The scatter diagram above shows skin tone as function of Afro-European admixture ratio. It is a a typical Afro-European genetic admixture scatter diagram. It was taken from an article produced out of a project headed by Penn State University molecular anthropologist Mark D. Shriver, shown at right.

This result was in agreement with the suggestion of an extensively genetic admixture in this region, based on classic genetic data and less resolved mtDNA data (Zhao and Lee 1989; Cavalli-Sforza, Menozzi, and Piazza 1994;

Genetic admixture explained a significant proportion of the variability in O2 max after control for covariate effects, including sea level O2 max and the decrement in arterial O2 saturation measured at O2 max ( SpO2 max) (R2 for admixture and covariate effects 0.80). The genetic effect reflected a main effect...
