Uniform manifold approximation and projection (UMAP) has been rapidly adopted by the population genetics community to study population structure. It has become common in visualizing the ancestral composition of human genetic datasets, as well as searching for unique clusters of data, and for identifying geographic patterns. Here we give an overview of applications of UMAP in population genetics, provide recommendations for best practices, and offer insights on optimal uses for the technique.

UMAP在群体遗传学中的回顾

种群遗传学界已迅速采用统一流形近似和投影 (UMAP) 来研究种群结构。它在可视化人类遗传数据集的祖先组成、搜索独特的数据集群以及识别地理模式方面变得很普遍。在这里，我们概述了 UMAP 在群体遗传学中的应用，提供最佳实践建议，并提供有关该技术最佳用途的见解。
