Where can I find a list of SNP rs IDs that belong to the X chromosome?
You just searched for X[Chromosome], you didn't specify a species. Presumably, your dataset comes from a specific species, so you should limit your search to that ...

What is Allelic Imbalance
It might be used differently in different contexts, but generally speaking, in my world - allelic imbalance is when there's a difference in the level of gene expression from different alleles, usually ...

Convert rs ID of one hg build to rs IDs of another build
You can assume that the overwhelming majority of rsIDs are the same between GRCh37 and GRCh38 (they're semi-stable IDs). There are, however, a number of rsIDs that are present only in GRCh37, which ...

How is a principal component analysis for population structure made from a bam or other alignment file?
In general, the process works as such:
Variants are found at a number of loci in each sample (missing loci are often imputed).
Each sample is scored at each locus, often according to the number of ...

How do population genetics people define a population?
A population is defined as a group of people (or organisms of the same species) living together in a geographical region. However, for human genetic studies, it is wise to use ethnicity as well (so ...

Statistical approach to compare the SNP genotyping data among set of individuals
PCA sounds like a good start to see a rough population structure among your 96 individuals, this step is half a sane thing to do, but also it can give you a hint how many distinct populations there ...

How do programs like STRUCTURE determine populations from alignments?
structure works with SNP/genotype information, so won't work directly off BAM/SAM files. You would need to convert to VCF (e.g. using mpileup/vcftools), then process using something like PLINK to ...

Does the kinship and inbreeding coefficients depend on population frequency of an allele?
The definition as set by Kenneth Lange's book is indeed quite vague and thus unrigorous. It is a probability not conditioned on observing any particular allele at a locus thus not on the population ...

How do population genetics people define a population?
It really depends on the study and the ethnicity. Mostly they use self-defined ethnicity and often they will require that three or four grandparents are of that ethnicity. Here's some detailed info on ...

What to use to determine SNPs in a population? How to find significant SNP variation between generations?
First focus on calling SNPs accurately. See the BWA, SAMtools, BCFtools pipeline (as described here) or GATK4 (as described here).
Once you have the [BV]CFs, then just code up the analysis to see ...

Is there any genetic sequence, such that, for all the kinds of mutation, it still has a 100% probability to be passed on?
Not in the way you suggest: a sequence of letters with the property of being immutable by any type of permutation on its constituent bases. I would be interested if anything of the likes exists in ...
