Figure S1 shows PC1 from PCA of African Americans based on all genotype data versus African IA from frappe analysis. The figure shows near-perfect correlation between PC1 and African IA. Figure S2 shows a Frappe analysis of 57 Yoruba, Mandenka, and Bantu speakers, based on estimating admixed ancestry one individual at a time, fixing all others in their defined population. Results show majority assignment to an individual's own population group. Figure S3a shows a PCA of indigenous Africans (n = 94) based on all genotype data. Figure S3b shows a PCA of indigenous Africans (n = 94) based on variable removal of genotype data. Note that the figure shows nearly identical genetic structure to that in Figure 3a, including the separation of Yoruba, Mandenka, and Bantu.
