Rapid detection of identity-by-descent tracts for mega-scale datasets

Traditional methods to identify genomic regions identical-by-descent (IBD) do not scale well to biobank-level datasets. Here, the authors describe a new IBD algorithm, iLASH, which uses LocAlity-Sensitive Hashing to provide rapid IBD estimation when applied to the PAGE and UK Biobank datasets.
