Power and Limitations of Inferring Genetic Ancestry.

Annals of human genetics - 1 Sept 2025

Bird Nancy, King Turi, Hellenthal Garrett

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The recent emergence of technologies that capture and analyse genetic variation patterns obtained from a person's DNA sample has led to numerous academic and commercial endeavours to infer individuals' ancestries. In theory, a person's genome contains a wealth of readily accessible information regarding their ancestors, despite only some of our ancestors contributing to the DNA we carry. This makes...
