GAGA: a new algorithm for genomic inference of geographic ancestry reveals fine level population substructure in Europeans.

Abstract excerpt

Attempts to detect genetic population substructure in humans are troubled by the fact that the vast majority of the total amount of observed genetic variation is present within populations rather than between populations. Here we introduce a new algorithm for transforming a genetic distance matrix that reduces the within-population variation considerably. Extensive computer simulations revealed that the...
