What caused the decline of Harappa? Education Hub. Eurasian ChromoPainter Analysis. Posted by Zack on August 15, 2012 Some months ago, I decided to run a big ChromoPainter analysis of the Eurasian samples I have.
I removed from my dataset not only all Sub-Saharan Africans, but also North Africans and anyone else with more than 2% African admixture (which unfortunately included me). Since the number of samples was still too large, I picked 25 random individuals from each non-South-Asian ethnicity while keeping all South Asians. I also tried to remove all close relatives and those with a high missing genotyping rate. In the end, I had 254,576 SNPs for 2,001 samples belonging to 197 ethnic groups. I ran ShapeIT to phase their genomes and then ChromoPainter and fineStructure.
Then I got busy and the results sat on my computer for more than a month. Gobekli Tepe: World’s Oldest Temple, or Zoo? « Star in the Stone. Stone totem pole Older than Stonehenge.
