The sample size per location is 21 X-linked loci and 23 autosomal loci. ANOVA: X-linked pairwise—F-value = 14.15, P < 0.0001; autosomal pairwise—F-value = 18.87, P < 0.0001; Measures of Dxy are scaled within each fragment by the maximum pairwise value to compare Dxy at the same scale across fragments.
