"Visualizing human ancestry using genetic data".

Talk about contemporary data mining on human genomes held by Daniel
Falush, Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Antropology.

The 6 billion bases in each human's genome provide considerable
information about who we are and where we came from but need to be
decoded. In the talk I will describe statistical algorithms that are
used to understand relationships between people based on genetic
variation data and outline some of the challenges and opportunities
provided by enormous new datasets.
