Inference of locus-specific ancestry is key to our understanding of the genetic variation of such populations. While a number of methods for the inference of locus-specific ancestry are accurate when the ancestral populations are quite distant (e.g. African\u2013Americans), current methods incur a large error rate when inferring the locus-specific ancestry in admixed populations where the ancestral populations are closely related (e.g. Americans of European descent).<\/jats:p><jats:p>Results: In this work, we extend previous methods for the inference of locus-specific ancestry by the incorporation of a refined model of recombination events. We present an efficient dynamic programming algorithm to infer the locus-specific ancestries in this model, resulting in a method that attains improved accuracies; the improvement is most significant when the ancestral populations are closely related. An evaluation on a wide range of scenarios, including admixtures of the 52 population groups from the Human Genome Diversity Project demonstrates that locus-specific ancestry can indeed be accurately inferred in these admixtures using our method. Finally, we demonstrate that imputation methods can be improved by the incorporation of locus-specific ancestry, when applied to admixed populations.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Availability: The implementation of the WINPOP model is available as part of the LAMP package at http:\/\/lamp.icsi.berkeley.edu\/lamp<\/jats:p><jats:p>Contact: \u00a0heran@icsi.berkeley.edu<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btp197","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,5,28]],"date-time":"2009-05-28T15:48:54Z","timestamp":1243525734000},"page":"i213-i221","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":120,"title":["Inference of locus-specific ancestry in closely related populations"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"Bogdan","family":"Pa\u015faniuc","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1 International Computer Science Institute, 2Computer Science Division, University of California, Berkeley, CA and 3Department of Molecular Microbiology and Biotechnology, and the Blavatnik School of Computer Science, Tel-Aviv University, Tel-Aviv, Israel"}]},{"given":"Sriram","family":"Sankararaman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 International Computer Science Institute, 2Computer Science Division, University of California, Berkeley, CA and 3Department of Molecular Microbiology and Biotechnology, and the Blavatnik School of Computer Science, Tel-Aviv University, Tel-Aviv, Israel"}]},{"given":"Gad","family":"Kimmel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 International Computer Science Institute, 2Computer Science Division, University of California, Berkeley, CA and 3Department of Molecular Microbiology and Biotechnology, and the Blavatnik School of Computer Science, Tel-Aviv University, Tel-Aviv, Israel"}]},{"given":"Eran","family":"Halperin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 International Computer Science Institute, 2Computer Science Division, University of California, Berkeley, CA and 3Department of Molecular Microbiology and Biotechnology, and the Blavatnik School of Computer Science, Tel-Aviv University, Tel-Aviv, Israel"},{"name":"1 International Computer Science Institute, 2Computer Science Division, University of California, Berkeley, CA and 3Department of Molecular Microbiology and Biotechnology, and the Blavatnik School of Computer Science, Tel-Aviv University, Tel-Aviv, Israel"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,5,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023013112034808700_B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2161","DOI":"10.2105\/AJPH.2005.068668","article-title":"Latino populations: a unique opportunity for the study of race, genetics, and social environment in epidemiological research","volume":"95","author":"Burchard","year":"2005","journal-title":"Am.
