Methods for detecting introgressed archaic sequences.

Abstract
Analysis of genome sequences from archaic and modern humans have revealed multiple episodes of admixture between highly-diverged population groups. Statistical methods that attempt to localize DNA segments introduced by these events offer a powerful tool to investigate recent human evolution. We review recent advances in methods for detecting introgressed sequences.
