Predicting Carriers of Ongoing Selective Sweeps Without Knowledge of the Favored Allele

This paper introduces a new statistic, the HAF score, to identify carriers of favored alleles in ongoing selective sweeps without knowing the favored allele, and develops an algorithm, PreCIOSS, to apply this statistic.

Beyond 2/3 and 1/3: the complex signatures of sex-biased admixture on the X chromosome

The paper reanalyzes African-American genetic data to show that sex-biased admixture on the X chromosome can have complex patterns, allowing for scenarios without clear male or female bias from specific populations.

Autosomal admixture levels are informative about sex bias in admixed populations

The paper develops a model to infer sex bias in admixture by analyzing variance in autosomal admixture fractions rather than mean values.
