Predicting Genetic Ancestry
Li et al. 2008
! Based purely on genetics, populations from the Human Genetic Diversity Project (HGDP) divide nicely into seven geographic regions
! SNPs can be used to predict genetic ancestry
-
Traits Snapshot Can Predict
7
Identity!Sex!Genetic
Ancestry!
Body!Height!Blood Type!BMI!Body Proportions!Waist-to-Hip Ratio!Handedness!Flat feet!Stuttering!Dyslexia!! and many others!
Face!Face Morphology!Eye Color!Hair Color!Skin Color!Freckling!Hair Morphology!Ability to tan!Dimples!Hair line!Ear shape!Vision correction!
Current Future

Snapshot Use Cases ! Originally targeted for
US Special Operations Command (SOCOM) US Army Criminal Investigation Laboratory (USACIL)
! Trait Prediction Battleeld and crime scene investigation Post-mortem identication
! Kinship Identication of relatives Conrmation of claimed relationships Reverse engineering of tribal networks

Case Study: Baton Rouge Serial Killer ! Killed at least 7 people, possibly more (1992-2003) ! Based on one witness account and FBIs typical
prole for serial killers, investigators were looking for a white male who drives a pickup
! A DNA Dragnet was conducted for over a year ! DNA of thousands of white
males was tested (STR) ! No matches were found
-
Case Study: Baton Rouge Serial Killer ! Drs. Tony Frudakis and Mark Shriver analyzed the
killers DNA for genetic ancestry and determined his ancestry was signicantly West African
! Law enforcement redirected its eorts to focus on a person of predominantly West African descent
-
Case Study: Baton Rouge Serial Killer ! Within 2 months, a DNA sample was obtained from a
person of interest: Derrick Todd Lee ! Lees DNA matched that of the crime scenes and
he was later convicted in two of the murders (the rest lacked sucient evidence)
