It can be tricky to visualise large #pedigrees. We have develped 'randPedPCA' for running #PCA on large pedigrees (can be >1M individuals). Check out our preprint doi.org/10.1101/2025.0… and the R package github.com/HighlanderLab/… @GregorGorjanc @epigenci @hannes_becher

HighlanderLab at @popgroup in Sheffield! It’s always interesting to attend the highly diverse set of talks and posters on population genetics and associated fields at the PopGroup conference. This year it was hosted by the University of Sheffield. We had 2 talks and 4 posters.
