Figure 3 : Marker performance for inference of individual ancestry versus estimation of FST or RST.
From: Deconstructing the relationship between genetics and race
Proportion of sub-Saharan Africans, Europeans and East Asians assigned correctly (red lines) to their population of origin (data from Ref. 24), and predicted FST estimated from 1–100 Alu insertion polymorphisms (blue line in a; see online supplementary information S1 (data)) or predicted RST estimated from 1–60 short tandem repeats (STR; blue line in b; see online supplementary information S5 (data)). The traces are bounded by 95% confidence intervals (dotted lines). The estimate of FST or RST remains almost the same as the number of markers increases, whereas the probability of correctly classifying an individual increases.
