In one of your previous analyses on East Africa you managed to get a pretty accurate \u2018Afro-Asiatic\/Cushitic\u2019 and \u2018Nilotic\u2019 cluster. Is it possible that you could run this Tutsi sample using the same admixture settings as in the \u2018Flavors of Afro-Asiatic\u2019 blog post to see if he carries a significant Nilotic component or is mainly Bantu &amp; Cushitic derived?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>So I replicated ADMIXTURE runs for many of the same populations as I did in my post, <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.discovermagazine.com\/gnxp\/2011\/06\/flavors-of-afro-asiatic\/\">Flavors of Afro-Asiatic<\/a>. I also pared down the population set and generated a PCA with EIGENSOFT.
