Abstract:Human populations are often dichotomized into “isolated” and “open” using cultural and/or geographical barriers to gene flow as differential criteria. Although widespread, the use of these alternative categories could obscure further heterogeneity due to inter-population differences in effective size, growth rate, and timing or amount of gene flow. We compared intra and interpopulation variation measures combining novel and literature data relative to 87,818 autosomal SNPs in 14 open populations and 10 geograp… Show more
