A. An example tree. B. The covariance matrix implied by the tree structure in A. Note that the covariance here is with respect to the allele frequency at the root, and that each entry has been divided by to simplify the presentation. C. An example graph. The migration edge is colored red. Parental populations for population 3 are labeled
and
; see the main text for details. D. The covariance matrix implied by the graph in C; again, each entry has been divided by

Performance on simulated data.
A. The basic outline of the demographic model used. B. Trees inferred by TreeMix. We simulated 100 independent data sets, under the demographic model in A., and inferred the tree. All simulations gave the same topology; plotted are the mean branch lengths. C. Performance in the presence of migration. We added migration events to the tree in A. and inferred the structure of the graph. Each point represents the error rate over 100 independent simulations, defined as the fraction of simulations where the inferred graph topology does not perfectly match the simulated topology. On the x-axis we show the populations involved in the simulated migration event; e.g., if the source population is 1 and the destination population is 10, this is a migration event from population 1 to population 10, as labeled in A. D. Admixture weight estimation. We simulated admixture events with different weights from population 1 to population 10, and inferred the weight. Each point is the mean across 100 simulations, and the bar represents the range.

A. Maximum likelihood tree. Plotted is the maximum-likelihood tree. Populations are colored according to geographic location (black: archaic humans, red: Africa, brown: Middle East, green: Europe, blue: Central Asia, purple: America, orange: East Asia). The scale bar shows ten times the average standard error of the entries in the sample covariance matrix (). For analysis including Oceania, see Figures S11 and S12. B. Residual fit. Plotted is the residual fit from the maximum likelihood tree in A. We divided the residual covariance between each pair of populations
and
by the average standard error across all pairs. We then plot in each cell
this scaled residual. Colors are described in the palette on the right. Residuals above zero represent populations that are more closely related to each other in the data than in the best-fit tree, and thus are candidates for admixture events.
Figure 4.
Inferred human tree with mixture events.
Plotted is the structure of the graph inferred by TreeMix for human populations, allowing ten migration events. Migration arrows are colored according to their weight. Horizontal branch lengths are proportional to the amount of genetic drift that has occurred on the branch. The scale bar shows ten times the average standard error of the entries in the sample covariance matrix (). The residual fit from this graph is shown in Figure S9. Admixture from Neandertals to non-African populations is only apparent when considering subsets of the data (see Discussion and Figure S15).
Figure 5.
A. Maximum likelihood tree. Populations are colored according to breed type. Dark blue: wild canids, grey: ancient breeds, brown: spitz breeds, black: toy dogs, red: spaniels, maroon: scent hounds, dark red: working dogs, light green: herding dogs, light blue: mastiff-like dogs, purple: small terriers, orange: retrievers, dark green: sight hounds. The scale bar shows ten times the average standard error of the entries in the sample covariance matrix (). B. Residual fit. Plotted is the residual fit from the maximum likelihood tree in A. We divided the residual covariance between each pair of populations
and
by the average standard error across all pairs. We then plot in each cell
this scaled residual. Colors are described in the palette on the right.
Figure 6.
Plotted is the structure of the graph inferred by TreeMix for dog populations, allowing ten migration events. Migration arrows are colored according to their weight. The scale bar shows ten times the average standard error of the entries in the sample covariance matrix (). See the main text for discussion. The residual fit from this graph is presented in Figure S13.
