Relationship between PlaNET ancestry probabilities, self-reported maternal ethnicity, and placental Ancestry Informative Marker (AIMs) Coordinates. A Ternary plot of PlaNET ancestry probabilities (P(European), P(Asian) and P(African), colored by self-reported maternal ethnicity (Black, East Asian, white, other/mixed). Samples of unknown ethnicity were excluded. The three axis labels give 0 to 100 percent probabilities for samples belonging to each of the three ancestry groups. B–D Scatterplot of AIMs coordinates 1 (x-axis) and 2 (y-axis) colored by PlaNET ancestry probability score represented as a color gradient from 0 to 100 (green for P(European) (B), yellow for P(Asian) (C), and red for P(African) (D)). Samples of European ancestry tend to cluster in the lower left; Asian in the upper right, and African in the lower right by AIMs coordinates
