Abstract excerpt
The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) is the most polymorphic region in humans. Anthropologists use HLA to trace populations' migration and evolution. However, recent admixture between populations can mask the ancestral haplotype frequency distribution. We present a statistical method based on high-resolution HLA haplotype frequencies to resolve population admixture using a non-negative matrix factorization formalism...
