Shirin Nataneli Published a Paper

CBB student Shirin Nataneli (top left) from Dr. Jazlyn Mooney's (top right) lab published a paper titled “Analytical expectations for ancestry junction accumulation in admixed genomes” in Genetics with contributions from CBB students, Aydin Loid Karatas (bottom left) and Tessa Ferrari (bottom right), as well as former QCB postdoc Roshni Patel. This work provides a mathematical model that tracks how recombination and a population’s history shape patterns of ancestry switches along the genome. This opens a new avenue for inferring the history of populations that contain ancestry from distinct parental sources. Please read the paper here.
