Low frequency variants, collapsed based on biological knowledge, uncover complexity of population stratification in 1000 genomes project data.

Analyses investigating low frequency variants have the potential for explaining additional genetic heritability of many complex human traits. However, the natural frequencies of rare variation between human populations strongly confound genetic analyses. We have applied a novel collapsing method to...
