ANCESTRYMAP
ANCESTRYMAP finds skews in ancestry that are potentially associated with disease genes in recently mixed populations. Admixture mapping is a method for localizing disease causing genetic variants that differ in frequency across populations. It is most advantageous to apply this approach to populations that have descended from a recent mix of two ancestral groups that have been geographically isolated.
