Fig. 4: F4-statistics depicting the relationship of the BQGroup from ShanDong to ancient mainland East Asians and post-Yayoi populations from the Japanese archipelago.
From: East Asian Gene flow bridged by northern coastal populations over past 6000 years
Results of f4(Y, BQGroup; Japanese_after_2800BP, Mbuti), where Y represents ancient northern East Asians from the Amur River (blue), Yellow River (orange), and West Liao River regions (purple). This f4 was used to test whether alleles shared between the DaWenKou ShanDong populations (i.e. BQGroup) and post-Yayoi island populations (Nagabaka, Kofun) contain genetic components that are not present in these ancient northern East Asians. The measure of centers (circles) are the average values of f4, and the error bars represent 2.5x standard error. A solid circle indicates that the f4 value is significant, while a hollow circle indicates that the f4 value is not significant.
