Fig. 1

Comparison of genome variation and core promoter variation in worldwide human populations. The variants in each population are divided into four groups, including Shared across all continents, Shared across the continent, Private to continent, and Private to population. The distribution of variants is compared in pair between core promoter and whole genome. In each pair, the left circle is from core promoter variants and the right circle is from whole genome referred from Fig. 1a (1000 Genomes Project Consortium, 2015). See actual rates and p values in Supplementary Table 3). The original world map was downloaded from Free world maps (http://www.free-world-maps.com).
