Comparing VNTR lengths across modern superpopulations. Volcano plots showing pair-wise comparisons of average VNTR lengths between superpopulations from the 1000 Genomes Project. The VNTRs with the greatest length differences (as determined by DESeq2) are labeled by the nearest gene, or gene in which they reside, and were determined based on both log2-fold change and P-value. Trial size for each superpopulation is 347–660 individuals.
