TeraStructure Outperforms Other State-Of-The-Art Algorithms on Big Data Sets

Caption

On simulated data sets of 10,000 individuals, TeraStructure could estimate population structure more accurately and twice as fast as current state-of-the art algorithms, the study found. TeraStructure alone was capable of analyzing 1 million individuals. Each vertical slice represents a person; the colors, their mix of ancestral populations.
