The number of runs of homozygosity compared to the total length in ROH for individuals from a number of illustrative populations. The Karitiana are from the Brazilian Amazon, the Mandenka from Senegal and the Baluchi from Pakistan. Cryptically inbred French, Japanese and Mandenka individuals plot to the right of the main population cluster in each case, as they carry longer ROH, but not that many more ROH. The length in ROH is very variable in the consanguineous Baluchi and Karitiana populations.
