Identity-by-descent detection across 487,409 British samples reveals fine-scale population structure, evolutionary history, and trait associations

2020-04-21

Abstract excerpt

Detection of Identical-By-Descent (IBD) segments provides a fundamental measure of genetic relatedness and plays a key role in a wide range of genomic analyses. We developed a new method, called FastSMC, that enables accurate biobank-scale detection of IBD segments transmitted by common ancestors living up to several hundreds of generations in the past. FastSMC combines a fast heuristic search for IBD segments wit...
