Figure 2. Sex-specific contributions to three-way genomic admixture in Latin American countries.

For each ancestry component – African, Asian (Native American) and European – the normalized difference between the X chromosome ancestry fraction and the autosomal ancestry fraction is shown. Positive values in the plot indicate a relative excess of female-specific (maternal) ancestry for a given admixture component, whereas negative values indicate an excess of male-specific (paternal) ancestry.
