Chunk #23 — RESULTS — Local Ancestry Estimation

Source
Local and global ancestry inference and applications to genetic association analysis for admixed populations.

yes

Text

Yorgov et al. [2013] reported that when using denser marker sets, LAMP-LD produced close to the number of ancestry blocks and global ancestry proportions that would be expected for Mexican populations. They also found that global ancestry estimates were stable when using sparser AIMs. However, there were too few ancestry blocks for the admixed sample individuals when using AIMs, even with appropriate adjustment of the parameters used in the ancestry analysis with the LAMP-LD software program.
