Estimates of individual heritage for the FIND Mexican American sample with and without the Pima genotypes. Panel a has the estimates from STRUCTURE while using the 1300 genotypes from the Pima, CEU, LWK, and YRI samples. These are very similar to the estimates obtained from the maximum likelihood method that is presented in Panel c. When the Pima genotypes were removed from the STRUCTURE analysis, the amount of American Indian ancestry was overestimated in the Mexican sample in Panel b. It is recommend that, in the latter situation, maximum likelihood returns the better estimates of individual heritage
