Recent advances in the study of fine-scale population structure in humans.

Current opinion in genetics & development - 1 Dec 2016

Novembre John, Peter Benjamin M

Abstract excerpt

Empowered by modern genotyping and large samples, population structure can be accurately described and quantified even when it only explains a fraction of a percent of total genetic variance. This is especially relevant and interesting for humans, where fine-scale population structure can both confound disease-mapping studies and reveal the history of migration and divergence that shaped our species' diversity....
