Figure 3: SNP density distribution and demography reconstruction of falcons.
From: Peregrine and saker falcon genome sequences provide insights into evolution of a predatory lifestyle
(a) Distribution of SNP density across each falcon genome. Heterozygous SNPs between the two sets of falcon chromosomes were annotated, and heterozygosity density was observed in non-overlapping 50-kb windows. (b) PSMC inference of falcon population history based on autosomal data. The central bold lines represent inferred population sizes, and the 100 thin curves surrounding each line are the PSMC estimates generated using 100 sequences randomly resampled from the original sequence. The mutation rate on autosomes, which is used in time scaling, was estimated using zebra finch autosome data.
