Straightforward inference of ancestry and admixture proportions through ancestry-informative insertion deletion multiplexing.
Ancestry-informative markers (AIMs) show high allele frequency divergence between different ancestral or geographically distant populations. These genetic markers are especially useful in inferring the likely ancestral origin of an individual or estimating the apportionment of ancestry components in...

Ancestry-informative markers (AIMs) show high allele frequency divergence between different ancestral or geographically distant populations.
