As part of my effort to create one big reference dataset for my use, I have been going over all the datasets I have and make sure there's no duplicates or relatives or any other strange things that could cause issues with my analysis.
Looking at the Pan-Asian dataset, I found 3 pairs of duplicate samples and 82 pairs that could be closely related. I have removed 64 samples from the dataset.
You can see the IBD results from plink as well as the list of sample IDs I removed in a spreadsheet.
UPDATE: I found 4 Melanesians in the Pan-Asian dataset who were the same as those in HGDP. So I have removed those as well and added them in the list in the spreadsheet.
