Learning phylogeny through f-statistics
Ó³»´«Ã½; Reich Lab, Harvard University
f-statistics are now a commonplace tool in population genetics, used to discover and test models for demographic history. We describe the theory and ADMIXTOOLS, a package that implements most of the tests used. We give a number of examples of discoveries about human history made using f-statistics and conclude with some things we would like to do better and some open questions.
