Figure 6. Neandertal gene flow into Siberian Denisovans.

Figure 6

Divergence in 0.01cM sized windows with at least 50kb analyzed bases between a “test”-archaic genome and effectively haploid regions of the other archaic genome archaic plotted against the most recent-common ancestor of the two alleles of the “test”-archaic. The plot shows 50 equally sized bins of windows for the “test”-archaic Denisovan against the effectively haploid Neandertal (red) and for the “test”-archaic Altai Neandertal against the effectively haploid Denisovan (blue). Divergence is given as percentage of human-chimpanzee divergence. Windows that show a close relationship between the effective haploid Altai Neandertal and the closest inferred Denisovan haplotype show a deep divergence to the second Denisovan haplotype, indicating gene flow from Neandertal into Denisovan.
