“…However, this may not always be obvious to assess. Usually, the corresponding modern population of the same geographical area is considered as a proxy to represent the population allele frequencies; in such cases, possible differences between ancient and modern allelic frequencies should be taken into account (Vanek et al, 2009;Esparza et al, 2017;Palomo-Dìez et al, 2018). Notably, lcMLkin (Lipatov et al, 2015), the method mentioned above, is robust even when the considered population allele frequencies diverge from the true allele frequency.…”
