Phase-free local ancestry inference mitigates the impact of switch errors on phase-based methods

This study compares phase-free and phase-based local ancestry inference methods, finding phase-free methods provide more accurate results despite lower phase quality.

Simultaneous inference of parental admixture proportions and admixture times from unphased local ancestry calls

PAPI infers parental admixture proportions and times from unphased local ancestry data, outperforming ANCESTOR in simulations and showing assortative mating in real data.
