Figures

Figure 1 Samples collection locations. Blue dots indicate locations where samples were collected in Afghanistan and analyzed for mt DNA, Y-chromosome and GWA, red dot indicates Afghan capital, Kabul. Black dots indicate locations where samples were collected in Iran, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia and Pakistan (HGDP-CEPH) and analyzed for Y-chromosome (see further description in Table S1). Red squares indicate samples locations used for the autosomal analyses (PCA, Fst, structure-like ADMIXTURE) (see further description in Table S2).

Figure 2 Spatial distribution of Ancestry Components based on the admixture analysis results at K = 9. Frequency data (ancestry fractions) were converted by applying the Kriging algorithm using the software Surfer v8.00. The color for the respective ACs matches that of Figures S1 and S2.

Figure 3 First and second components of the Principal Component Analysis based on autosomal data. The corresponding colored dots for the Central Asian populations are shown on the lower right corner. The colored “arrows” on the background represent the frequency gradients as seen as on Figures S1 and S2 and follow the same color code. It shall be stressed that they DO NOT represent actual gene flow, PCA analysis does not permit to reveal such movements. _Pak and _Afg stand for Pakistan and Afghanistan respectively.

Figure 4 First and second components of the Factorial Correspondence Analysis based on the frequencies of 84 well-defined Y chromosome haplogroups in 37 populations from Afghanistan, Iran, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, and Mongolia. In Figure 4-A, populations are colored according to their language (Altaic and Indo-European speaking populations). Figure 4-B differentiates populations according to their respective country.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
