Simulated Admixed Population Data

Description

The example dataset provides simulated allele calls for 50 individuals from 3 populations. We consider a simple admixture scenario where two ancestral populations, popA (sample size n_A = 15) and popB (sample size n_B = 15), merged 160 generations ago to form the admixed population, popAB (sample size n_{AB} = 20). The ancestral populations contributed to the admixed population with probability 0.5.

Further description of the dataset can be found in Sanderson et al. (2015). The data were simulated using MaCS (Chen et al. 2009).
