Fig. 3: Individual ROH in a subset of ancient and present-day populations.
From: Parental relatedness through time revealed by runs of homozygosity in ancient DNA
Each individual is represented by stacked vertical bars, where the length of each bar is determined by the ROH of this individual falling into four length classes (4–8, 8–12, 12–20, and >20 cM, color-coded). a All 54 ancient individuals (out of 1785) with at least 50 cM sROH>20 (x/n indicates a number of individuals x exceeding the threshold in a cluster of size n defined by archeological label). The labels of the 11 individuals from island populations are highlighted in bold. We also show a legend (top right) of expected ROH for offspring of close kin or in small populations, based on analytical calculations (Supplementary Note 4). For simulations exhibiting individual variation around the mean see Supplementary Note 4 and Supplementary Note 5. b, c Time transects for regions covering present-day Pakistan and Levant, respectively. Modern individuals are indicated by the green horizontal bars. d Ancient individuals from island populations not assigned to geographic regions (circles in Fig. 2a).
