Accurate genetic ancestry inference from cancer-derived molecular data with RAIDS

The Robust Ancestry Inference using Data Synthesis (RAIDS) package enables accurate and robust inference of genetic ancestry from various types of molecular data, including whole-genome, whole-exome, targeted gene panels and RNA sequences, as described in our manuscript. Our tools retain high accuracy in presence of somatic alterations, such as those caused by cancer.

This code and analysis pipeline were designed and developed for the following publication:

Pascal Belleau, Astrid Deschênes, Nyasha Chambwe, David A. Tuveson, Alexander Krasnitz; Genetic Ancestry Inference from Cancer-Derived Molecular Data across Genomic and Transcriptomic Platforms. Cancer Res 1 January 2023; 83 (1): 49–58. https://doi.org/10.1158/0008-5472.CAN-22-0682
