Anabaptists represent a genetic isolate comprising several groups, including Amish and Mennonites, whose Since whole genome sequencing (WGS) is still expensive in large samples, many study designs rely on genotype imputation of unsequenced individuals. population-specific imputation reference panel drawn from people of Anabaptist ancestry. population structure and allele frequency spectra represented by the AGRP and estimate the impact of this reference panel on the imputation accuracy of variants across the full range of allele frequencies. The merged AGRP and 1000G reference panel provided the highest imputation accuracy across all allele To investigate one measure of genetic diversity, we compared the total length of the genome shared homozygous by descent (HBD) among individuals within the AGRP to that shared between AGRP and Europeans in ./cache/work_gigjzrqgcng45ike54rkflikbe.pdf ./txt/work_gigjzrqgcng45ike54rkflikbe.txt
