Fig 6. Genetic ancestry of the Nuevomexicanos.

Fig 6

(A) Native American (K = 9) and European (K = 5) ancestry-specific ADMXITURE plots comparing the Mountain census region (MNT) in the middle panel to Canadian Native American (NA) populations and admixed Mexican reference populations. Native American ancestry profiles for the Mountain region can be divided into Nuevomexicano (left) and Mexican-American (right) components. (B) Native American ancestry phylogeny (as shown in Fig 5) with the Mountain census region (MNT) broken down into Nuevomexicano and Mexican-American sub-populations. (C) Distributions of European, Native American, and African ancestry fractions are shown for the Spanish descendant Mountain (MNT) Nuevomexicano, Mountain (MNT) Mexican, West South Central (WSC), and Pacific (PAC) populations. The * indicates significant differences in median ancestry fractions between the Nuevomexicano and other groups (P<0.01 Wilcoxon Rank-Sum test). (D) Distributions of the Sephardic Jewish haplotype copying fractions are shown for European reference populations from the 1000 Genomes Project (Central European and Spanish), Western European descendants from the Southeast census region (SE, WD), Mountain (MNT) Nuevomexicano, Mountain (MNT) Mexican, and West South Central Spanish descendant (WSC, SD) groups.
