The past five years have seen many scientific and biological discoveries made through the
experimental design of genome-wide association studies (GWASs). These studies were …

Genome-wide association (GWA) studies have identified a large number of SNPs
associated with disease phenotypes. As most GWA studies have been performed in …

Identifying the ancestry of chromosomal segments of distinct ancestry has a wide range of
applications from disease mapping to learning about history. Most methods require the use …

To provide a resource for assessing continental ancestry in a wide variety of genetic studies,
we identified, validated, and characterized a set of 128 ancestry informative markers (AIMs) …

High-throughput genotyping technologies developed for model species can potentially
increase the resolution of demographic history and ancestry in wild relatives. We use a SNP …

The large and diverse population of Latin America is potentially a powerful resource for
elucidating the genetic basis of complex traits through admixture mapping. However, no …

Most individuals throughout the Americas are admixed descendants of Native American,
European, and African ancestors. Complex historical factors have resulted in varying …

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 …

Existing methods to ascertain small sets of markers for the identification of human population
structure require prior knowledge of individual ancestry. Based on Principal Components …

Autosomal ancestry informative markers (AIMs) are useful for inferring individual
biogeographical ancestry (I‐BGA) and admixture. Ancestry estimates obtained from Y and …
