An important problem is how to formulate and estimate probabilistic models of observed genotypes that account for complex population structure. The most prominent work on this problem has focused on estimating a model of admixture proportions of ancestral populations for each individual. Here, we instead focus on modeling variation of the genotypes without requiring a higher-level admixture interpretation.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Results: We formulate two general probabilistic models, and we propose computationally efficient algorithms to estimate them. First, we show how principal component analysis can be utilized to estimate a general model that includes the well-known Pritchard\u2013Stephens\u2013Donnelly admixture model as a special case. Noting some drawbacks of this approach, we introduce a new \u2018logistic factor analysis\u2019 framework that seeks to directly model the logit transformation of probabilities underlying observed genotypes in terms of latent variables that capture population structure. We demonstrate these advances on data from the Human Genome Diversity Panel and 1000 Genomes Project, where we are able to identify SNPs that are highly differentiated with respect to structure while making minimal modeling assumptions.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Availability and Implementation: A Bioconductor R package called lfa is available at http:\/\/www.bioconductor.org\/packages\/release\/bioc\/html\/lfa.html.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Contact: \u00a0jstorey@princeton.edu<\/jats:p><jats:p>Supplementary information: \u00a0Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btv641","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,11,7]],"date-time":"2015-11-07T02:04:32Z","timestamp":1446861872000},"page":"713-721","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":37,"title":["Probabilistic models of genetic variation in structured populations applied to global human studies"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"32","author":[{"given":"Wei","family":"Hao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Minsun","family":"Song","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"John D.","family":"Storey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics and"},{"name":"2 Center for Statistics and Machine Learning, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ 08544, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,11,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023020110442542800_btv641-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1061","DOI":"10.1038\/nature09534","article-title":"A map of human genome variation from population-scale sequencing","volume":"467","author":"1000 Genomes Project Consortium","year":"2010","journal-title":"Nature"},{"key":"2023020110442542800_btv641-B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1805","DOI":"10.1101\/gr.631202","article-title":"Interrogating a high-density SNP map for signatures of natural selection","volume":"12","author":"Akey","year":"2002","journal-title":"Genome Res."},{"key":"2023020110442542800_btv641-B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1655","DOI":"10.1101\/gr.094052.109","article-title":"Fast model-based estimation of ancestry in unrelated individuals","volume":"19","author":"Alexander","year":"2009","journal-title":"Genome Res."},{"key":"2023020110442542800_btv641-B4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"451","DOI":"10.1214\/09-STS307","article-title":"Population structure and cryptic relatedness in genetic association studies","volume":"24","author":"Astle","year":"2009","journal-title":"Stat.
