Ancestry of Roma people from Romania. (A) Principal component analysis of Roma (ROM) from Romania in the context of other worldwide populations. The graph shows the two principal components and the variance explained by them. Roma fall in a cline between Indian and European populations. (B) Proportion of shared genetic drift between Roma and extant worldwide populations measured using outgroup f3 statistic in the form f3(Roma; X, YRI). (C) Clustering analysis showing K = 3 and K = 4. Roma show their own component in K = 4 (best supported model). Roma share more drift with Europeans than with South East Asian populations. See Supplementary Notes for the description of the population abbreviations; some coordinates were slightly displaced to avoid overlap.
