Inference of Population Structure using Dense Haplotype Data
The advent of genome-wide dense variation data provides an opportunity to investigate ancestry in unprecedented detail, but presents new statistical challenges. We propose a novel inference framework that aims to efficiently capture information on population structure provided by patterns of haplotype similarity. Each individual in a sample is considered in turn as a recipient, whose chromosome...
متن کاملBayesian approach to inference of population structure
Methods of inferring the population structure, its applications in identifying disease models as well as foresighting the physical and mental situation of human beings have been finding ever-increasing importance. In this article, first, motivation and significance of studying the problem of population structure is explained. In the next section, the applications of inference of p...
متن کاملA fast haplotype inference method for large population genotype data
With the rapid progress of genotyping techniques, many large-scale, genome-wide disease studies are now under way. One of the challenges of large disease-association studies is developing a fast and accurate computing method for haplotype inference from genotype data. In this paper, a new computing method for population-based haplotype inference problem is proposed. The designed method does not...
متن کاملInference of population structure using multilocus genotype data.
We describe a model-based clustering method for using multilocus genotype data to infer population structure and assign individuals to populations. We assume a model in which there are K populations (where K may be unknown), each of which is characterized by a set of allele frequencies at each locus. Individuals in the sample are assigned (probabilistically) to populations, or jointly to two or...
متن کاملRobustness of Inference of Haplotype Block Structure
In this report, we examine the validity of the haplotype block concept by comparing block decompositions derived from public data sets by variants of several leading methods of block detection. We first develop a statistical method for assessing the concordance of two block decompositions. We then assess the robustness of inferred haplotype blocks to the specific detection method chosen, to arb...
