Figure 2.
Ancestry inference using SNPs versus methylation probes in 128 participants of the Marine Resiliency Study (MRS). (a) Principal component (PC) plot showing ancestry inferred using SNPs from a genome-wide association study (GWAS). PC plots based on CpG probes with SNPs within 1 bp distance (b) and with SNPs within 10 bp distance (c), respectively. Subject are placed into four ancestral groups based on ancestry estimates using ancestry-informative SNPs and a reference panel (see methods).
