A Continuous Correlated Beta Process Model for Genetic Ancestry in Admixed Populations
Admixture and recombination create populations and genomes with genetic ancestry from multiple source populations. Analyses of genetic ancestry in admixed populations are relevant for trait and disease mapping, studies of speciation, and conservation efforts. Consequently, many methods have been developed to infer genome-average ancestry and to deconvolute ancestry into continuous local ancestr...
متن کاملFacial asymmetry and genetic ancestry in Latin American admixed populations.
Fluctuating and directional asymmetry are aspects of morphological variation widely used to infer environmental and genetic factors affecting facial phenotypes. However, the genetic basis and environmental determinants of both asymmetry types is far from being completely known. The analysis of facial asymmetries in admixed individuals can be of help to characterize the impact of a genome's hete...
متن کاملAncestry specific association mapping in admixed populations
Genetic association studies have during the last decade proven to be a powerful approach to identifying disease-causing variants. However, many populations, like the Greenlandic Inuit population, have recently experienced substantial admixture with other populations, which can complicate association studies. One important complication is that most current methods for performing association test...
متن کاملEstimating local ancestry in admixed populations.
Large-scale genotyping of SNPs has shown a great promise in identifying markers that could be linked to diseases. One of the major obstacles involved in performing these studies is that the underlying population substructure could produce spurious associations. Population substructure can be caused by the presence of two distinct subpopulations or a single pool of admixed individuals. In this w...
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...
