a, Maximum clade credibility (MCC) tree of previously published ancient and modern genomes, and the ancient genome ZH1540 from this study (n = 99). Blue bars indicate the 95% HPD intervals of node ages and red text the posterior probability that a group is monophyletic (only shown for nodes with posterior probability >0.8). b, Simplified collapsed MCC tree of the analysis with ZH1540 included (top) and excluded (bottom). c, Posterior densities of the times of the tMRCAs of the T. pallidum subspecies and major lineages as estimated by the molecular clock dating with ZH1540 included (coloured densities, corresponding to b, top) and excluded (grey densities, corresponding to b, bottom). Vertical lines inside the density curves indicate the upper and lower limits of the 95% HPD intervals.
