Fig. 2: Measures of genetic diversity in ancient (northwestern and sub-Saharan) Africans and Eurasians, computed using diploid calls from higher-coverage (over ninefold genome coverage) individuals.
From: Northwest African Neolithic initiated by migrants from Iberia and Levant
a–c, Ancient individuals (including oub002, ktg004 and skh001) are compared with modern-day individuals from geographically corresponding regions. a, Runs of homozygosity. ne1, Neolithic European 1; NSEG, number of homozygote segments. b, Heterozygosity, calculated from the number of variable positions per individual divided by the number of single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) sites per individual. c, Effective population size over time, as inferred by pairwise sequentially Markovian coalescent, for three ancient northwestern Africans with over ninefold genome coverage, as well as for a Mesolithic European individual (Loschbour) and a Neolithic European individual (Stuttgart), and modern-day individuals for comparison.
