There is a spreadsheet, no need to tinker that much like he does in this strange article:

Yemenite_Jewish
Lebanese_Druze
Lebanese_Christian
Samaritan
Palestinian
Saudi
Cyprian
Jordanian
Lebanese_Muslim
Assyrian
Egyptian
Bedouin
Syrian
Azeri_Jewish
Sephardic_Jewish
Georgian_Jewish
Armenian
Ashkenazi
South_Italian

Still an half peak though. "Yemenite Jewish" is 52.36% East_Med.

I thought it would be based upon some "pure" isolated groups like Samaritans

For instance, I don't understand why Saudi and Yemenite_Jew are used, while they should be logically the references for Red Sea admixture ?

I guess not but has it been in Europe since the Bronze age.
