Modeling Population Structure Under Hierarchical Dirichlet Processes
2018
Bayesian Analysis
We propose a Bayesian nonparametric model to infer population admixture, extending the hierarchical Dirichlet process to allow for correlation between loci due to linkage disequilibrium. ...
We present a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm to perform posterior inference from the model and we discuss some methods to summarize the MCMC output for the analysis of population admixture. ...
In particular the associated admixture analysis of individuals is important in correcting the confounding effects of population ancestry on gene mapping (Zhu et al., 2008) and association studies (Price ...

Molecular Proxies for Climate Maladaptation in a Long-Lived Tree (Pinus pinaster Aiton, Pinaceae)
2014
Genetics
A set of 18 SNPs potentially associated with climate, 5 of them involving amino acid-changing variants, were retained after performing logistic regression, latent factor mixed models, and Bayesian analyses ...
Successful predictive models for climate-driven range shifts of species depend on the integration of information on adaptation, including that derived from genomic studies. ...
Third, a covariance matrix was built based on the control SNP data set (1745 SNPs) and used as a null model to further test for candidate SNP-climate correlations with the geographical Bayesian association ...

Signatures of adaptive divergence among populations of an avian species of conservation concern
2019
Evolutionary Applications
Here, we use 15,033 SNP loci in genomic outlier analyses, genotype-environment association analyses, and gene ontology enrichment tests to examine patterns of putatively adaptive genetic differentiation ...
We found 411 loci within 5 kbp of 289 putative genes associated with biological functions or pathways that were overrepresented in the assemblage of outlier SNPs. ...
Restricting the distance between candidate SNPs and gene regions increased our confidence that the association between candidate SNP and gene was nonrandom although it ensures that many potential targets ...

In this paper, we propose a flexible Bayesian spike-and-slab variable selection model for presence-absence indicators that accounts for spatial dependence and cross-dependence between taxa while reducing ...
Recently, methods have been developed to model the abundance of taxa in a community, but they can be computationally intensive and do not account for spatial effects underlying microbial settlement. ...
