PHATE-Derived Ancestry Coordinates Capture Continuous Population Structure in Human Genomic Data

Population genetic data are increasingly visualized using low-dimensional embeddings as ancestry coordinates, yet how these methods represent population structure can depend strongly on sampling and construction choices. Principal component analysis (PCA), when visualized using only leading components, can obscure fine-scale structure, while nonlinear neighbor-based methods such as uniform…
