Abstract: Disclosed are a group of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) loci and a method for identifying biogeographic origins of East Asian populations, and belong to the technical field of gene identification. The application takes single nucleotide polymorphism molecular genetic markers as objects, systematically selects loci with high genetic differentiation in the East Asian populations of Beijing Han population, Southern Han population, Dai population, Japanese and Kinh Population from Vietnam, and constructs an efficient, simple and fast artificial intelligence model through the XGBoost machine learning algorithm for analyzing biogeographic origins of five East Asian populations.
