The distribution of Neandertal and Denisovan DNA in the modern human genome

The X chromosome and a representative autosome, chromosome 1, are shown. Red indicates regions in which the likelihood of Neandertal sequence is greater than zero; blue indicates the same for Denisovan sequence. The relationships between humans and other hominins and the proposed interbreeding are depicted in the lower panelThe X chromosome and a representative autosome, chromosome 1, are shown.
