Inference of Population Splits and Mixtures from Genome-Wide Allele Frequency Data (2012, methodology): “In these models, the details of the demographic histories of the population are absorbed into the branch lengths of the tree [1,33].”
Estimating and interpreting FST: The impact of rare variants (2013, background): “Additionally, likelihood-based definitions view FST as a parameter of the distribution of allele frequencies in current populations (Balding and Nichols 1995; Nicholson et al. 2002; Balding 2003).”
A new FST‐based method to uncover local adaptation using environmental variables (2015, background): “In particular, note that although the elements of the covariance matrix estimated by Coop et al. (2010) could in principle be interpreted as parametric estimates of the pairwise and populationspecific FST, this is only true when levels of genetic drift are low (Nicholson et al. 2002).”
Robust Identification of Local Adaptation from Allele Frequencies (2012, background): “We then assume that that the marginal distribution of θjl is normally distributed, around an ‘ancestral’ mean frequency ǫl with variance proportional to ǫl(1 − ǫl) (inspired by the model of Nicholson et al., 2002).”
