Phase-free local ancestry inference mitigates the impact of switch errors on phase-based methods.

Abstract excerpt

Local ancestry inference is an indispensable component of a variety of analyses in medical and population genetics, from admixture mapping to characterizing demographic history. However, the accuracy of local ancestry inference depends on a number of factors such as phase quality (for phase-based local ancestry inference methods) and time since admixture. Here, we present an empirical analysis of four local...
