a Line plot showing cubic smoothed splines of Spearman’s R2 values (y-axis) for in silico and in vitro datasets at increasing fraction sizes, ranging from 3 to 75% (x-axis, log-scaled). b Heatmap showing Spearman’s R2 values for small fractions (<30%) on 200 in silico mixtures for all deconvolution methods at variable numbers of marker loci. ‘X’ symbol represents missing values.
