Abstract excerpt
Using the genome-wide screening data of the Framingham Heart Study (394 nuclear families, 1328 genotyped subjects, 397 marker loci) we have quantified the underlying genetic diversity through high-dimensional genetic feature vectors and constructed a genetic vector space for the analysis of population substructure. Adaptive clustering procedures led to three major subgroups that were regarded as being related to...
