Genetic and cultural transformations in the prehistory of Transylvania

The genetic prehistory of Neolithic to Late Bronze Age Transylvania is under-sampled, and poorly understood. Here we aim to explore the genetic landscape of Transylvania, while comparing to nearby regions, over the Late Neolithic to the Late Bronze Age.

BREADR - Estimating genetic relatedness for extremely low-coverage DNA samples

BREADR was developed to estimate genetic relatedness up to the second-degree for samples with very few overlapping sites. We wrote BREADR as an easy-to-use and install R package, available on CRAN.

One- and two-sample Tests for Distributions of Runs of Homozygosity

Long runs of homozygosity (ROH) are inherited long without variation, often due to parental relatedness. Hypothesis tests considering: the proportion on non-zero ROH carriers, and the overall mean ROH are derived. One- and two-sample tests are derived.
