All of Us Ancestry Concordance Across Tool

During my internship at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, I worked on evaluating the concordance between two ancestry prediction tools within the All of Us (AoU) dataset, which comprises over 410,000 samples out of a projected 1 million. The project compared categorical ancestry predictions from a Random Forest model with admixture estimates generated by the Rye tool. The primary goal was to assess the reliability of these methods in accurately predicting ancestry, particularly for diverse and underrepresented populations. This analysis is crucial for accurately determining population-specific allele frequencies, which have significant implications for disease diagnosis and understanding genetic risk factors. By validating these methods, we aimed to improve the precision of genetic analyses in diverse populations.
