The concept of an "origins pool" was proposed, and the introduction of novel origins in conjunction with the acquisition of new genomic content may be linked to the mechanisms involved in the adaptation of haloarchaeal cells to changeable environments.
We were not able to involve any family members of African origin as our original pool of participants was very small.
The strength or direction of the effect size were not significantly associated with geographic distance between the compared sites of plant origin (Pair-wise comparisons of plant origins pooled by traits: N = 429, Qb = 2.241, df = 1, P = 0.134, Fig 4; Pair-wise comparisons pooled by species and study: N = 26, Qb = 0.133, df = 1, P = 0.715).
To compare the effect of the qualitative variable "origin", indicator variables were generated and full model multiple regressions (including indicator variables as independent variables) were compared to reduced models (with origins pooled) to determine if origin had any significant effect on the slope and intercept of the response curves.
Twenty-one species were present in both databases, providing an opportunity to investigate the potential effects of database origin on pool coverage.
Genetic associations with small effects therefore may have been obscured in instances where individuals of different origin were pooled in meta-analyses or used for the confirmation of findings made in other populations (2, 3, 5, 6, 11).
Data from different submitters consisting of individuals from the same origin were pooled when no significant departures were found as assessed by an admixture test, which asymptotically follows a chi-square distribution with 1 degree of freedom.
Therefore, the Structure results of K = 2 was considered the best possible partition as they showed a high consistency with known pedigree history and geographic/gene pool origin of the material.
The supernatants from the three extractions (FCT or MCT origins) were pooled.
Since a read cluster in which the reads were close to each other and had the same pool origin were supposed to originate from the same DNA fragment, the alleles observed in the same cluster were merged into a SNP fragment.
