Extended Data Fig. 8: Additional ancient microbial hit authentication.
From: The spatiotemporal distribution of human pathogens in ancient Eurasia
a, Bar plots showing proportion of reads assigned to same species (dark blue) or genus (light blue) using BLASTn for all hits with n ≤ 100 final reads (n = 712), stratified by genus and microbial source groups b, Bar plots showing the proportion of ancient microbial hits with n ≤ 100 final reads matching the species with most reads assigned using BLASTn, stratified by microbial source group. c, Heatmap showing number of reads mapped to Yersinia pestis CO92 chromosome and plasmids, for n = 42 Yersinia pestis hits. Cell color indicates ratio of observed over expected breadth of coverage. Results for plasmid pMT1 are shown for full plasmid, as well as separately for the 19 kb region containing the ymt gene absent in the LNBA- strains. Samples are ordered by decreasing age from top to bottom.
