Fig. 1

Scatter plot and correlations of different measures of population distance determined on the basis of pair-wise comparisons of POPRES populations and HapMap reference panels. In the lower triangle, Kendall’s rank correlations are presented. In the upper triangle, symbols represent POPRES population while colors represent the reference panel to which the distance is calculated. A regression line is added to each scatter plot. At the diagonal, histograms of measures are added
