Identity-by-descent detection across 487,409 British samples reveals fine scale population structure and ultra-rare variant associations
Accurately measuring genetic relatedness by Identical-By-Descent (IBD) segments is challenging in biobank-level genome data. The authors present IBD method FastSMC, which when applied to the UK Biobank gives a detailed picture of genetic relatedness and evolutionary history in the UK over the past 2...
