Analysis of 55 Kidd Ancestry SNP of Qatari population using Structure & ForenSeq Universal Software

SNPs are good predictors of ethnicity and serval panels have been published [1]. The ForenSeq Signature kit (Illumina) offers coverage of 230 different markers including 55 ancestry SNPs (AISNPS). The ForenSeq Universal Analysis Software (UAS) brings the capability to analyse the sequencing data, represent results and accomplish statistical estimates of biogeographic ancestry. The ancestry prediction results in UAS are based on Principal Component Analysis (PCA) collected on several reference populations comprised in the 1000 Genomes project.
