a Seeking algorithm. The light blue dashed box includes archaic reference genomes, the light green dashed box includes tested non-African human genomes, and the black dashed box includes African reference genomes. Dots in different colors stand for mutations of four different observation states in the HMM. b Matching algorithm. After we got the candidate introgressed sequences, we matched them to the seven topologies and found the best-matched one. Each topology corresponds to introgression for one specific lineage, incomplete lineage sorting, or a false-positive signal. c Reconstructing introgression history. For those introgressed sequences from one specific lineage, the length distribution was used to reconstruct the introgression history. A likelihood ratio test was used to find the most likely number of introgression events (K) and the software estimated introgression time and the proportion of each introgression event.
