Population structure and eigenanalysis.

PLoS genetics - 1 Dec 2006

Patterson Nick, Price Alkes L, Reich David

Abstract excerpt

Current methods for inferring population structure from genetic data do not provide formal significance tests for population differentiation. We discuss an approach to studying population structure (principal components analysis) that was first applied to genetic data by Cavalli-Sforza and colleagues. We place the method on a solid statistical footing, using results from modern statistics to develop formal...
