Description: Principal components analysis of more than 450,000 SNPs of Africans, U.S. Caucasians, and African Americans. Inset bar plot displays individual ancestry estimates for 128 African Americans from a supervised structure analysis by using frappe with K = 7, fixing six African and one U.S. Caucasian populations. The color scheme of the bar plot matches that in the PCA plot.
