Abstract
Displaying an indication of ancestral data is disclosed. An indication that a genetic interval corresponds to a reference interval that has a likelihood of having one or more ancestral origins is received. One or more graphic display parameters are determined based at least in part on the indication. An indication of the one or more ancestral origins is visually displayed using the one or more graphic display parameters.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- partitioning genetic data into intervals;
- determining, based on the genetic data and frequencies of genotypes appearing in the intervals for each of a set of reference populations, geographic origins for one or more of the intervals;
- generating, for display on a graphical user interface, representations of the intervals indicating the geographic origins for the one or more of the intervals;
- and
- providing, to the graphical user interface, the representations of the intervals.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing program instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a computing system, cause the computing system to perform operations comprising:
- partitioning genetic data of an individual into intervals;
- determining, based on the genetic data and frequencies of genotypes appearing in the intervals for each of a set of reference populations, geographic origins for one or more of the intervals;
- generating, for display on a graphical user interface, representations of the intervals indicating the geographic origins for the one or more of the intervals;
- and
- providing, to the graphical user interface, the representations of the intervals.
A computing system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- memory;
- and
- program instructions, stored in the memory, that upon execution by the one or more processors cause the computing system to perform operations comprising:
- partitioning genetic data into intervals;
- determining, based on the genetic data and frequencies of genotypes appearing in the intervals for each of a set of reference populations, geographic origins for one or more of the intervals;
- generating, for display on a graphical user interface, representations of the intervals indicating the geographic origins for the one or more of the intervals;
- and
- providing, to the graphical user interface, the representations of the intervals.
