AdmixLD: fast genome-scale inference of ancestry disequilibrium in hybrid zones.

SUMMARY: Hybrid zones represent powerful natural systems for studying reproductive isolation and speciation. One key genomic signature of genetic incompatibilities and epistatic interactions is linkage disequilibrium (LD)-non-random associations between loci from different lineage backgrounds, generated by selection against maladaptive allele combinations. However, admixture alone induces strong genome-wide LD in hybrid populations, obscuring selection-driven signals. Here, we present AdmixLD, a fast, scalable C++ tool for genome-wide LD scanning in hybrid zones that estimates LD using partial correlation to control for individual hybrid index. By removing admixture-driven covariance, AdmixLD enhances detection of locus-specific associations and enables genome-scale identification of candidate barrier loci and interacting genomic regions. AVAILABILITY: The software and its code source are available at https://github.com/yzfranci/AdmixLD, and scripts for the data analysis are available at https://github.com/yzfranci/AdmixLDAnalysis.

Genetic and nongenetic bases for the L-shaped distribution of quantitative trait loci effects.

The L-shaped distribution of estimated QTL effects (R(2)) has long been reported. We recently showed that a metabolic mechanism could account for this phenomenon. But other nonexclusive genetic or nongenetic causes may contribute to generate such a distribution. Using analysis and simulations of an additive genetic model, we show that linkage disequilibrium between QTL, low heritability, and small population size may also be involved, regardless of the gene effect distribution. In addition, a comparison of the additive and metabolic genetic models revealed that estimates of the QTL effects for traits proportional to metabolic flux are far less robust than for additive traits. However, in both models the highest R(2)'s repeatedly correspond to the same set of QTL.

Linkage disequilibrium, gene trees and selfing: an ancestral recombination graph with partial self-fertilization.

It is shown that partial self-fertilization can be introduced into neutral population genetic models with recombination as a simple change in the scaling of the parameters. This means that statistical and computational methods that have been developed under the assumption of random mating can be used without modification, provided the appropriate parameter changes are made. An important prediction is that all forms of linkage disequilibrium will be more extensive in selfing species. The implications of this are discussed.
