Scalable ARG-free Detection of Denisovan-mediated Superarchaic Introgression Reveals Heterogeneous Patterns across Populations
Noel Powelson McAllister, Sebastian Zöllner, Xinjun Zhang
The paper develops DEEP, an ARG-free method to detect Denisovan-mediated superarchaic introgression, finding 0.4-0.6% of genomic windows with evidence of such ancestry in Oceanians, Tibetans, and Han Chinese.
