Estimating European admixture proportions in Atlantic salmon

SalmonEuAdmix: a machine learning-based library for estimating European admixture proportions in Atlantic salmon.

SalmonEuAdmix is a program designed to streamline the admixture estimation process, and allow for European admixture proporions to be accurately estimated from a parsimonious set of SNP markers. Relying exlusively on the genotypes for the set of SNPs as input, SalmonEuAdmix can predict admixture proporions for novel samples. The program utilizes a machine-learning model trained on pairs of genotypes and admixture proportions for 5812 individuals encompassing a mixture of wild and aquaculture fish of European, North American, and mixed ancestry. The model has been experimentally show to predict admixture proportions that conform to the estimations provided by a complete admixture analysis with greater than 98 percent accuracy.
