S13-178 RFMix: A fast, discriminative method for inferring local ancestry and correcting phase errors Stanford researchers have discovered a fast, discriminative method for inferring local ancestry and correcting phase errors. This local ancestry inference method is both faster and more accurate than the previous state-of-the-art. Brian Maples Simon Gravel Eimear Kenny Carlos Bustamante Mark Wright
S13-268 PCAmask: a novel approach for elucidating the evolutionary history of human populations through local ancestry deconvolution in admixed individuals The genomes of admixed individuals are unique in that they are comprised of a mosaic of DNA segments derived from different ancestral populations.
