Fig. 1. Contributions of the ancestral components identified by ADMIXTURE at k = 3, k = 7, and k = 8 to individual genomes in the studied populations. Each ancestral component is indicated by specific color; each vertical line represents individual genome with a palette of ancestral component contributions; the populations are demarcated by white lines; the raw data are given in the table
Fig. 2. Geographic ranges of three ancestral components identified by ADMIXTURE at k = 3: “Western” (A), “Ural” (B), and “Eastern” (C). High prevalence rates are colored red-to-purple, low values are green, the scale of transitions is given in the map; studied populations are indicated by red circles
Fig. 3. Geographic ranges of three ancestral components identified by ADMIXTURE at k = 7: “Slavic” (A), “Mordovian-1” (B), and “Mordovian-2” (C). High prevalence rates are colored red-to-purple, low values are green, the scale of transitions is given in the map; studied populations are indicated by red circles
Fig. 4. Fractions of individual genomes (%) harboring “Mordovian-1” and “Mordovian-2” ancestral components in ethnic Russian populations
Fig. 5. Pharmacogenetic landscape of the studied geographic area, representing genetic distances from Ryazan Russians according to pharmacogenetic markers. Small genetic distances (indicating pharmacogenetic proximity to Ryazan Russians) are shown in green; large genetic distances (indicating pharmacogenetic divergence from Ryazan Russians) are shown in red-to-purple; the scale of transitions is given in the map
Table. Estimated contribution of each of the ten ancestral components identified by ADMIXTURE at k = 3 and k = 7 to genomes in each of the studied populations
