Abstract excerpt
People of different ancestries vary in cancer risk and outcome, and their molecular differences may indicate sources of these variations. Determining the "local" ancestry composition at each genetic locus across ancestry-admixed populations can suggest causal associations. We present a protocol to identify local ancestry and detect the associated molecular changes, using data from the Cancer Genome Atlas. This...
