Genomic Admixture - Introduction to Genomics Theory

Explore genomic admixture in this beginner-friendly 28-minute lecture from the Genomics Boot Camp series. Delve into the genomic consequences of crossbreeding between populations, covering definitions, genomic background, interpretation, and practical considerations. Learn about single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data, ancestry informative SNPs, and how to interpret admixture graphs. Compare pedigree and genomic admixture results, and understand the effects of using reduced numbers of SNPs or purebred individuals in reference sets. Access the full video playlist and accompanying PowerPoint presentations for a comprehensive introduction to basic genomics concepts.
