SAPDA is a new ancestry inference software developed by Dilawer Khan. It is unlike any of the other currently available ancestry inference programs.

By using outgroup populations SAPDA removes old mutations which are common to many worldwide populations. In doing this shared old mutations which can confound more recent ancestry inference are removed.

SAPDA SOFTWARE FEATURES & BENEFITS OVER CURRENTLY AVAILABLE CALCULATORS

Use of multiple outgroup populations to increase certainty of mutations specific to various populations;
User receives graphical evidence of genes shared with other populations in support of admixture percentage calculations;
Filtration of old mutations common to many populations in admixture calculations;
Single population sharing output (GSI) to more accurately quantify admixture percentages;
Mitigation of ascertainment bias inherent in public SNP arrays.
