What’s at stake? Determining indigeneity in the era of DIY DNA
New Genetics and Society, 2019 Social scientists have found that direct-to-consumer genetic ancestry testing can increase the influence of genetic notions of identity, but has a varying effect on test takers depending on the individual, social and political context.

Softwares and methods for estimating genetic ancestry in human populations
Human Genomics, 2013 The estimation of genetic ancestry in human populations has important applications in medical genetic studies. Genetic ancestry is used to control for population stratification in genetic association studies, and is used to understand the genetic basis ...

Molecular Genetic Influences on Normative and Problematic Alcohol Use in a Population-Based Sample of College Students [PDF]
, 2017 Background: Genetic factors impact alcohol use behaviors and these factors may become increasingly evident during emerging adulthood. Examination of the effects of individual variants as well as aggregate genetic variation can clarify mechanisms ...

Phenotypic variance explained by local ancestry in admixed African Americans
Frontiers in Genetics, 2015 We surveyed 26 quantitative traits and disease outcomes to understand the proportion of phenotypic variance explained by local ancestry in admixed African Americans. After inferring local ancestry as the number of African-ancestry chromosomes at hundreds

Enhanced methods for local ancestry assignment in sequenced admixed individuals. [PDF]
, 2014 Inferring the ancestry at each locus in the genome of recently admixed individuals (e.g., Latino Americans) plays a major role in medical and population genetic inferences, ranging from finding disease-risk loci, to inferring recombination rates, to ...
