Fast model-based estimation of ancestry in unrelated individuals.
Population stratification has long been recognized as a confounding factor in genetic association studies. Estimated ancestries, derived from multi-locus genotype data, can be used to perform a statistical correction for population stratification. One popular technique for estimation of ancestry is the model-based approach embodied by the widely applied program structure. Another approach, impl...
متن کاملFast and efficient estimation of individual ancestry coefficients.
Inference of individual ancestry coefficients, which is important for population genetic and association studies, is commonly performed using computer-intensive likelihood algorithms. With the availability of large population genomic data sets, fast versions of likelihood algorithms have attracted considerable attention. Reducing the computational burden of estimation algorithms remains, howeve...
متن کاملHaplotype-based association analysis in cohort studies of unrelated individuals.
Exploring the associations between haplotypes and disease phenotypes is an important step toward the discovery of genes that influence complex human diseases. When unrelated subjects are sampled, haplotypes are often ambiguous because of the unknown gametic phase of the measured sites along a chromosome. We consider cohort studies of unrelated subjects which collect data on potentially censored...
متن کاملReconstructing genetic ancestry blocks in admixed individuals.
A chromosome in an individual of recently admixed ancestry resembles a mosaic of chromosomal segments, or ancestry blocks, each derived from a particular ancestral population. We consider the problem of inferring ancestry along the chromosomes in an admixed individual and thereby delineating the ancestry blocks. Using a simple population model, we infer gene-flow history in each individual. Com...
متن کاملPCAdmix: principal components-based assignment of ancestry along each chromosome in individuals with admixed ancestry from two or more populations.
Identifying ancestry along each chromosome in admixed individuals provides a wealth of information for understanding the population genetic history of admixture events and is valuable for admixture mapping and identifying recent targets of selection. We present PCAdmix (available at https://sites.google.com/site/pcadmix/home ), a Principal Components-based algorithm for determining ancestry alo...
