We also evaluated the HapMap Phase II and HGDP data with the integrated haplotype score (iHS)17 and Haplotter and the cross-population extended haplotype homozygosity (XP-EHH) statistic using the HGDP selection browser18,19. We also evaluated BioVU using 5,000 random autosomal SNPs with STRUCTURE v2.3.3, and on average the participants were 20.7% European and 79.3% African ancestry20,21.
