SHIPS: Spectral Hierarchical clustering for the Inference of Population Structure in genetic studies.

Abstract excerpt

Inferring the structure of populations has many applications for genetic research. In addition to providing information for evolutionary studies, it can be used to account for the bias induced by population stratification in association studies. To this end, many algorithms have been proposed to cluster individuals into genetically homogeneous sub-populations. The parametric algorithms, such as Structure, are...
