Combination of top 1000 genome motifs from modern human, Neanderthal and Denisovan. The top 1000 genome motifs (hexamers to decamers) from modern human and the two archaic human species were compared with each other. What we can observe is that as the motif length increases, the intersect between all three species decreases, whereas the union of all motifs increases. The number of motifs common to both Neanderthal and Denisovan remain constantly very high, whereas the number of motifs unique to modern humans increases
