Inference of Population Splits and Mixtures from Genome-Wide Allele Frequency Data

Many aspects of the historical relationships between populations in a species are reflected in genetic data. Inferring these relationships from genetic data, however, remains a challenging task. In this paper, we present a statistical model for inferring the patterns of population splits and mixture...
