Provide open-source software and reference datasets to perform efficient and scalable human ancestry inference directly from genomic sequencing data.
Packaged and published the ntRoot computational software pipeline (versions 1.0.0 and 1.1.5) via Zenodo and GitHub repositories.
Integrated standardized human genetic reference data using the 1000 Genomes Project (1kGP) variant call set alongside automated analytical scripts.
Delivers a reproducible software framework capable of inferring genetic ancestry across high-throughput genomic data collections.
Updates reference resource mapping and code infrastructure to ensure reliable execution in large-scale population genomic workflows.

Implication

Computational tool release demonstrates scalable human ancestry inference from genomic sequences, highlighting open-source pipelines for large-scale population genetics.

Abstract

Data and scripts in support of "Human ancestry inference at scale, from genomic data" by René L Warren, Lauren Coombe, Johnathan Wong, Parham Kazemi, Inanc Birol This Zenodo release (v6) includes: 1) An updated compressed ntRoot GitHub archive for : https://github.com/bcgsc/ntroot 2) The ntRoot code version (v1.0.0) corresponding to our research manuscript 3) The most recent (v1.1.5; October 2024) ntRoot code version 4) An updated supplementary data supporting the ntRoot manuscript, and provided with previous Zenodo versions (fixed the source of the 1kGP integrated variant call set in ./data/readme) Publication: https://doi.org/10.1093/bioadv/vbaf287
