Plots of the multidimesional (MDS) scaling analyses of genetic distances inferred from the forensics datasets.

<p>A: MDS of genetic distances computed on the Frequency dataset (stress = 0.18); B: MDS of genetic distances computed on the Genotype dataset (stress = 0.13). Shown in caption: population samples are color-coded following the 12 main geographic groups listed in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0049666#pone-0049666-g001" target="_blank">Figure 1</a>.
