Fig. 1. — Homozygosity of Emiratis compared with world populations. (a, b) Plots show number of total kilobases of homozygous DNA (x-axis) against number of homozygous segments (y-axis). A small number of segments and little homozygosity are characteristic of African populations. A large amount of homozygosity broken into many small segments is typical of founder populations and can be observed in some Admixed Americans. Long tracts of homozygosity are indicative of the consanguineous cultures found in Middle Eastern populations. Data are also shown for participating individuals by Emirate of origin.
