Fig. 1. Genotype imputation accuracy (R²) depending on the coverage depth and minor allele frequency (MAF) for two test samples. The horizontal axis shows the minor allele frequency (%), the vertical axis shows the R² coefficient between imputed and reference allele dosages. Each curve corresponds to one of five coverage levels (0.1×; 0.3×; 0.5×; 0.7×; 0.9×). А. M00016 sample of Indian origin. B. CRR1023808 sample of Chinese origin
Fig. 2. M. mulatta reference haplotype panel principal component analysis (n = 618). Blue indicates samples of Indian origin (n = 418), red indicates samples of Chinese origin (n = 200)
