Combined use of principal component analysis and random forests identify population-informative single nucleotide polymorphisms: application in cattle breeds.

Abstract excerpt

The genetic identification of the population of origin of individuals, including animals, has several practical applications in forensics, evolution, conservation genetics, breeding and authentication of animal products. Commercial high-density single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping tools that have been recently developed in many species provide information from a large number of polymorphic sites that...
