Fig. 4: Central Asian Turkic admixture in Anatolia.

Fig. 4:

(A) Individuals from Çapalıbağ (1300-1650CE) and present-day Turkish individuals are intermediate between Byzantine Anatolia and 500-1500CE Central Asians along a global principal components analysis distinguishing West from East Eurasians (left-to-right on the horizontal dimension; noise added on the vertical dimension to distinguish points). (B) 2-way unsupervised ADMIXTURE analysis of “eastern” ancestry: Byzantine: (0%), present-day Turkish (9%), Çapalıbağ (18%), Central Asian individuals differ between 100% (in Mongolia) to 43% (some ancient populations of Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan). (C) Individuals from Çapalıbağ in Turkey admixed 12.2±1.4 generations (342±39 years) prior to their time using Byzantine Anatolians and Central Asians (from 500-1500CE) as sources. (D) Present-day Turkish people genotyped on the Human Origins array (35) admixed 30.6±1.9 generations ago (857±53 years) using the same sources as in (D).
