A genome-wide set of markers for MALD-based gene discovery in African-Americans is described in this paper. An average of 6 generations since admixture and average European chromosomal segments with block sizes of 11 cM are estimated.

The authors describe the use of the program STRUCTURE and MALDsoft for admixture mapping with simulated data. They suggest that a large set of random SNPs can be used to discover disease genes nearly as well as a much smaller set of markers that are enriched for MALD-based gene discovery.

This paper describes a rapid gene-mapping algorithm (ANCESTRYMAP) for MALD that uses MCMC and hidden Markov chain methodologies that are capable of whole-genome admixture scans. It extensively models the sample sizes that are necessary for gene discovery using MALD.
