Figure 4

Effects of coverage depth on ratio of homozygous to heterozygous variant calls. Ratios of observed homozygous:heterozygous to true homozygous:heterozygous variant call ratios. Squares and circles represent data points for low and high divergence samples, respectively, for A) indel variant calls and B) SNP variant calls. Equations and R2 values for best-fit linear relationship are A) y = -0.1288 + 4.3862, R2 = 0.15353 for low divergence samples (solid line); y = -0.1712x + 4.3267, R2 = 0.65332 for high divergence samples (dashed line); B) y = -0.1899x + 4.4411, R2 = 0.21871 for low divergence samples (solid line); y = -0.1835x + 3.8176, R2 = 0.64356 for high divergence samples (dashed line). Dashed grey line added at unity for observed hom:het / true hom:het for visual clarity.
