Project results evaluation
The project developed a new algorithm for automatic inference of population history models that fit genomic data - "mixing graphs". A number of problems with the inference of mixing graphs in archaeogenetics were uncovered, as well as with other methods popular in archaeogenetics: fstatistics and qpAdm. Since most published results relying on mixing graphs are not robust, and the research team proposed recommended procedures for f-statistics, mixing graphs and qpAdm.
