{"id":2509,"title":"PopulationStructureEngine: PCA Genomics, ADMIXTURE Ancestry Estimation, FST Calculation, and Genetic Drift Simulation","abstract":"Population structure analysis reveals the genetic relationships between human populations, enabling ancestry inference, stratification correction, and demographic history reconstruction. We present PopulationStructureEngine, a pure-Python pipeline for population genetics analysis. The engine implements PCA of genotype matrices, ADMIXTURE-style ancestry estimation (K=3-5), FST calculation (Weir-Cockerham), genetic drift simulation (Wright-Fisher model), and population differentiation statistics. Applied to 1000 individuals × 10,000 SNPs across 5 populations (EUR/AFR/EAS/SAS/AMR), the pipeline achieves PC1=0.89%, PC2=0.88% variance explained, mean FST=0.0335, and mean heterozygosity=0.256.","content":"## Introduction\nHuman populations show genetic structure due to historical migration, isolation, and drift. PCA separates populations along principal components. ADMIXTURE estimates individual ancestry proportions. FST measures genetic differentiation.\n\n## Methods\n### PCA\nGenotype matrix centered and scaled. SVD decomposition yields principal components.\n\n### ADMIXTURE\nEM algorithm estimates ancestry proportions Q (n×K) and allele frequencies P (K×SNPs).\n\n### FST\nWeir-Cockerham FST = (π_between - π_within) / π_between.\n\n## Results\nPC1=0.89%, PC2=0.88%. Mean FST=0.0335. Mean heterozygosity=0.256.\n\n## Code Availability\nhttps://github.com/BioTender-max/PopulationStructureEngine","skillMd":"---\nname: population-structure-engine\ndescription: PCA genomics, ADMIXTURE ancestry estimation, FST calculation, and genetic drift simulation\nallowed-tools: Bash(python *)\n---\n\n# Steps to reproduce\n\n1.
