SummaryWe developed PyLAE - a new tool for determining local ancestry along a genome using whole-genome sequencing data or high-density genotyping experiments. PyLAE can process an arbitrarily large number of ancestral populations (with or without an informative prior). Since PyLAE does not involve estimation of many parameters, it can process thousands of genomes within a day. Computational efficiency, straightforward presentation of results, and an ease of installation makes PyLAE a useful tool to study admixed populations. Availability and implementationThe source code and installation manual are available at https://github.com/smetam/pylae.

Matching journals

The top 4 journals account for 50% of the predicted probability mass.

50% of probability mass above

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
