Figure 1 Fig. 1. The current geographic range of rhesus macaques [green, redrawn from (20)] with the inferred demographic history and the sample locations superimposed. The geographic location of the MRCA is based on (4). [View Larger Version of this Image (59K GIF file)]
 

Figure 2 Fig. 2. (A) The marginal frequency spectrum of derived mutations for each population (shown as expected proportions in a subsample of 10 chromosomes by integrating over possible configurations of observed and missing data, with the total number of SNPs in parentheses) and the expected distribution under the standard neutral model (SNM) of constant size. (B) A "topographical map" of the joint site-frequency spectrum for the two populations, with darker tones representing frequency pairs with few SNPs, and lighter tones representing frequency pairs with many SNPs.

Figure 3 Fig. 3. (A) The distribution of FST between Indian and Chinese rhesus, calculated with the average pairwise-difference across each nonoverlapping window (13). (B) STRUCTURE results. Individuals are represented by vertical lines, and sorted by their amount of Chinese ancestry (black vertical line separates animals with Indian and Chinese origins). Colors correspond to the proportion of an individual's ancestry attributable to a given population (blue, Indian; red, Chinese). (C) Principal component 1 (PC1) and PC2 separate Indian from Chinese individuals. PC2 also isolates a single Chinese individual [corresponding to an individual sampled from Suzhou and shown as the fourth individual from the right in (B)].

Figure 4 Fig. 4. The decay of LD for Indian and Chinese rhesus macaques versus European and African humans (n = 9 for all samples), along with the decay of LD for 1000 neutral simulations of our inferred demographic history for rhesus macaque. Human data are from three ENCODE regions orthologous to the rhesus data (13, 21). [View Larger Version of this Image (46K GIF file)]
