Rapid assessment of genetic ancestry in populations of unknown origin by genome-wide genotyping of pooled samples.

Rapid assessment of genetic ancestry in populations of unknown origin by genome-wide genotyping of pooled samples.

As we move forward from the current generation of genome-wide association (GWA) studies, additional cohorts of different ancestries will be studied to increase power, fine map association signals, and generalize association results to additional populations. Knowledge of genetic ancestry as well as...
