Extended Data Fig. 8: Runs of homozygosity inferred in Phoenician and Punic individuals and ancient individuals of relevant Bronze and Iron Age contexts.
From: Punic people were genetically diverse with almost no Levantine ancestors
We computed runs of homozygosity (ROH) in all individuals with more than 400,000 SNPs covered and recorded the total length (in cM) of ROHs binned by length into four categories (see legend). We label individuals with at least 50 and 100 cM of their genome in long ROH (>20 cM) with triangle and square marks as in30 - to indicate offspring of close biological parental relatives. (a) ROH in Phoenician and Punic individuals, grouped by site. (b) ROH in individuals from relevant Bronze and Iron Age contexts (as depicted in Fig. 1). (c) Expected ROH for offspring of various cousin matings (according to the degree of relation between parents) and for individuals sampled in populations with small effective size (calculated as described in30).
