Heterozygosity plot of whole-genome sequences from Iran and published sequences from Asia and the USA (reference isolate [35])). The samples from Myanmar and Japan are from [36], the samples from Thailand are from [16], the samples from China are from [19], and the samples from Cambodia are from [14]. The X-axis shows the heterozygosity on the autosomes, the Y-axis shows the heterozygosity on the X chromosome. Note that males have only one X chromosome and cannot be heterozygous on this chromosome. The X-chromosomal heterozygosity measured for males is therefore a measure for the error in this measure caused for example by genome assembly and annotation errors
