Dating the age of admixture via wavelet transform analysis of genome-wide data

Table 1 Comparison of results from HAPMIX and StepPCO

Population	Estimated percent European ancestry from HAPMIX	Estimated percent European ancestry from StepPCO	Estimated time since admixture (in gens ago) from HAPMIX	Estimated time since admixture (in gens ago) from StepPCO
Mandenka	2%	2%	120	121
Mozabite	77%	84%	100	131
Bedouin	91%	91%	90	83
Palestinian	93%	92%	75	72
Druze	97%	96%	60	90

We have removed one outlier individual from the Mandenka population. Among the Bedouins, 24 out of 45 individuals have a higher proportion of European-related ancestry (Figure S7 in Additional file 1). If these individuals are removed from the analysis, the estimate for the admixture time in the Bedouins changes to 97 generations ago. Estimated percent European ancestry was calculated by using the two parental populations and an admixed group to find the PC1 axis.
