English: Phylogenetic relationships between the modern Japanese, Jomon, and continental East Asians: Modern Japanese genomes contain a mixture of variants that occurred on each ancestral lineage of the modern Japanese (Jomon and continental East Asian ancestries including “East Asians” and “Northeast Asians” in Cooke et al., 2021). The Jomon people are highly differentiated from continental East Asians, so modern Japanese genomes have Jomon-lineage specific variants (blue stars in the phylogeny) that are not found in other modern continental East Asians (Chinese, Koreans, and so on); AMI is an index that distinguishes Jomon-derived variants from other Japanese-specific variants based on the structure of linkage disequilibrium.
