Extended Data Fig. 7: Pairwise FST between Australian, PNG and Asian populations from the SGDP.
From: Indigenous Australian genomes show deep structure and rich novel variation
Genetic differences between Indigenous Australian communities are significantly greater than between groups from other continents distributed over a comparable geographic range. Heatmaps show pairwise FST differences between all East Asian populations, and all Australian communities. Note, for instance, FST between Galiwinâku and Titjikala (0.045), is as high as between Cambodia and Oroqen (0.045), groups separated by three to four times the geographical distance. All FST values were calculated on a set of variants polymorphic in an African outgroup population (Mbuti), thus providing an unbiased estimator of FST. Colour scales for both heatmaps are the same.
