Inference of recent admixture using genotype data.

Abstract excerpt

The inference of biogeographic ancestry (BGA) has become a focus of forensic genetics. Misinference of BGA can have profound unwanted consequences for investigations and society. We show that recent admixture can lead to misclassification and erroneous inference of ancestry proportions, using state of the art analysis tools with (i) simulations, (ii) 1000 genomes project data, and (iii) two individuals analyzed...
