Efficient inference of local ancestry
MOTIVATION The inference of local ancestry of admixed individuals at every locus provides the basis for admixture mapping. Local ancestry information has been used to identify genetic susceptibility loci. RESULTS In this study, we developed a statistical method, efficient inference of local ancestry (EILA), which uses fused quantile regression and k-means classifier to infer the local ancestr...
متن کاملInference of Transposable Element Ancestry
Most common methods for inferring transposable element (TE) evolutionary relationships are based on dividing TEs into subfamilies using shared diagnostic nucleotides. Although originally justified based on the "master gene" model of TE evolution, computational and experimental work indicates that many of the subfamilies generated by these methods contain multiple source elements. This implies t...
متن کاملInferring Geographic Coordinates of Origin for Europeans Using Small Panels of Ancestry Informative Markers
Recent large-scale studies of European populations have demonstrated the existence of population genetic structure within Europe and the potential to accurately infer individual ancestry when information from hundreds of thousands of genetic markers is used. In fact, when genomewide genetic variation of European populations is projected down to a two-dimensional Principal Components Analysis pl...
متن کاملLocal Ancestry Inference in Admixed Populations
Contemporary human sub-populations exhibit great differences in the frequency of various alleles, or the set of variations of a particular gene. Advances in genome sequencing have rapidly improved speed, cost, and accuracy, allowing unprecedented opportunity to map the functionality and location of such genetic variation. Of particular interest is the mapping of disease associated loci in the g...
متن کاملDetermination of weights of interacting criteria from a reference set
In this paper, we present a model allowing to determine the weights related to interacting criteria. This is done on the basis of the knowledge of a partial ranking over a reference set of alternatives (prototypes), a partial ranking over the set of criteria, and a partial ranking over the set of interactions between pairs of criteria.
