Prediction of biogeographical ancestry from genotype: a comparison of classifiers.

International journal of legal medicine - 1 Jul 2017

Cheung Elaine Y Y, Gahan Michelle Elizabeth, McNevin Dennis

Abstract excerpt

DNA can provide forensic intelligence regarding a donor's biogeographical ancestry (BGA) and other externally visible characteristics (EVCs). A number of algorithms have been proposed to assign individual human genotypes to a BGA using ancestry informative marker (AIM) panels. This study compares the BGA assignment accuracy of the population clustering program STRUCTURE and three generic classification approaches...
