Race, ethnicity, and genetic ancestry in the US. Continental genetic ancestry patterns are shown for self-identified race/ethnicity (SIRE) and genetic ancestry (GA) groups: European ancestry (orange), African ancestry (blue), and Native American ancestry (red). HRS cohort participants are grouped by SIRE and GA, as described in the text, and continental ancestry fractions are compared for each grouping system. Top row: continental ancestry fractions for individuals organized into the three SIRE and three GA groups. Each column represents an individual genome, and the three continental ancestry fractions are shown for each individual column. Middle row: ternary plots showing the continental ancestry fractions for the SIRE and GA groups, as illustrated by the relative proximity to each of the three ancestry poles. Bottom row: average continental ancestry percentages for the SIRE and GA groups
