Figure 4. Many circadian genes are divergently regulated between modern humans and archaic hominins.
Comparison of the imputed regulation of core circadian genes between 2504 humans in 1000 Genomes Phase 3 (gray bars) and three archaic individuals (vertical lines). For each core circadian gene, the tissue with the lowest average P-value for archaic difference from humans is plotted. Archaic gene regulation is at the extremes of the human distribution for several core genes: CRY1, PER2, NPAS2, NR1D1 RORA. See Figure S2 for all core clock genes and Figure S3 for all divergently regulated circadian genes.
