From: How have sheep breeds differentiated from each other in Morocco? Genetic structure and geographical distribution patterns

Fig. 4

Spatial genetic structure detected by sPCA for six breeds from Northern Morocco. The figure represents a color plot of the first three principal components (PC) of the sPCA of Moroccan sheep data. Each dot corresponds to the sampled breeds (see the map of sampling distribution, in Additional file 2: Fig. S1). Each principal component is recoded as intensities of a given color channel of the RGB system: red (first PC), green (second PC), and blue (third PC). These channels are mixed to form colors representing the genetic proximities between the population individuals. The inset indicates the eigenvalues of the analysis, with color channels used to represent PC indicated on the corresponding eigenvalues
