Note.—All SNPs and genes have evidence for archaic introgression and functional effect. E—European, indicating that the SNP or gene was identified in a modern European population. N—Neanderthal, indicating that the source of the SNP or gene was a Neanderthal population. T—Tibetan, indicating that the SNP or gene was identified in a modern Tibetan population. D—Denisovan, indicating that the source of the SNP or gene was a Denisovan population. Citations without a modern population indicated (E or T) were detected using a broad panel of modern populations. Citations without Neanderthal or Denisovan indicated were detected using a method that generated a more general result of archaic introgression, without a specific population specified.
