Promises and limitations of local ancestry inference in imputed ancient genomes

2026-05-20

Abstract excerpt

Recent advances in genome imputation have enabled the application of state-of-the-art statistical methods—originally developed for present-day genomes—to ancient genomes. One class of such methods, known as local ancestry inference (LAI), can model an individual's genome as a mosaic of tracts assigned to different putative ancestral sources, revealing patterns of genetic ancestry across the genome. However, most L...
