fix(archaic): bring the whole-genome Neanderthal share in line with the published method - #76
Added a comparison tool for Neanderthal segment totals against released calls, including per-chromosome and aggregate results, overlap statistics, and sample and group comparisons.
Added comparisons of filtered archaic genome calls against released calls across selected chromosomes.
Added an optional workflow to compare results for a selected sample and chromosomes, with a job summary and downloadable outputs.
Added a toggle to run the HG002 workflow job.
Documentation
Documented the same-person workflow and its inputs, results, and comparison methodology.
… calls
The whole-genome Neanderthal total of HG002 is above the gate range and
nothing separates the data from the method. archaic-same-person runs step
43 on one 1000 Genomes person's high- and low-coverage genotypes and
prints it beside that person's released figure.

It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.
The workflow adds an optional job to compare step 43 results for a selected person with Chen et al. released calls. A new CLI utility calculates interval totals and reports comparisons. Tests cover its calculations, output, and failure cases.
Changes: Same-person archaic comparison
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Configure the comparison and validate released calls .github/workflows/public-evidence.yml
The workflow adds inputs for the sample and chromosomes, makes HG002 jobs conditionally runnable, validates the selected values, and verifies the downloaded released calls.
Implement and test segment comparisons bin/archaic_compare.py, tests/test_archaic_compare.py
The CLI reads Chen calls and step 43 segment files, merges overlapping or touching intervals, and reports per-chromosome and aggregate totals. Tests cover totals, group comparisons, malformed input, and CLI success.
Prepare inputs, run step 43, and publish results .github/workflows/public-evidence.yml
The job prepares archaic data, runs step 43 on high- and low-coverage genotypes for ALL and EUR, adds comparison output to the job summary, and uploads the artifacts.
geiresx/OwnGenome#48: Changes step 43 output that this PR compares with Chen et al. calls.
geiresx/OwnGenome#32: Changes masked archaic-call handling that affects the step 43 totals measured by this PR.
Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review 75978
The same-person comparison can report inaccurate results and draw misleading conclusions. Correct the comparison and its documentation before merging.
Security architecture risk: Low · up to 75978
The new analysis is optional and confined to an on-demand public-data workflow. No introduced security vulnerability or broader privilege grant was established. End-to-end execution, interrupted-run behavior and external use of published outputs remain unverified.
Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The demonstrated new exposure is public-data parsing and processing within one additional CI job, including its mounted work directories, summaries and artifacts. No repository-local consumer promotes the same-person artifact into deployment or privileged downstream state; external consumers were not established.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — Before constructing processing paths and chromosome-specific downloads, the job restricts sample identifiers to HG or NA followed by digits and chromosome tokens to autosomes 1–22. The Chen download must match its pinned digest and contain the selected sample. The comparison utility parses these files as data and prints reports.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
observed — Setup removes an obsolete completion marker, installs chromosome tables through temporary files and rename, and writes DONE after completion. The workflow requires successful setup and a nonempty marker. Step 43 clears prior source outputs, while distinct copies preserve completed sample/population results. Execution uses pipefail, but always-run uploads can retain partial diagnostics after failure.

Check that step 43 analysed every requested chromosome.
The archaic-hg002 job fails when step 43 analyses fewer chromosomes than requested. This job has no such check. If a pulled VCF has no records on one chromosome, step 43 skips it. archaic_compare.py then prints 0 bp for that chromosome. The ratio against Chen's released figure is silently understated, and the method check can mislead.
Compare the row count of spans.tsv with the number of chromosomes in LIST after each step 43 run.

Preserve missing genotypes in the one-sample VCF.
If the selected sample has ./. at a variant site, --min-ac 1 removes that record. bin/archaic_report.py then treats the absent record as reference (0), rather than unknown (9). This changes low-coverage genotypes before IBDmix runs and can distort the same-person comparison. Keep missing-genotype records, or remove this filter. The pinned bcftools 1.24 implementation recalculates the allele count after sample selection. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

The workflow passes GRCh37 Chen calls directly to both commands, but step 43 produces GRCh38 segments. Both commands can therefore report incorrect shared and exclusive base-pair counts.
Use a shared assembly conversion for the intersections. Account for split and unmapped intervals, and retain the original calls for the published GRCh37 totals.

On chr22, 43% of that run's Neanderthal sequence lay outside the 1000 Genomes GRCh38 strict mask alone.
With the masks dropping sites, a run on chr22 (run 42089578470, before the masked codes) gave HG002 1.3 Mb of Neanderthal sequence with the `ALL` frequencies and 1.7 Mb with `EUR`, still at the top of the published spread below. Keeping the masked sites as IBDmix's mask, as the published workflow does, lets the mismatches there end a segment; the chr22 figure on this table is printed by the e2e case on every run. The e2e case compares it with the spread of Chen et al.'s own released calls for the 497 Europeans of CEU, TSI, GBR, FIN and IBS (51 kb at the lowest, 541 kb at the median, 1,132 kb at the 95th percentile, 1,716 kb at the highest). The pre-mask run gave 1,748 kb on chr22, more than all 497 of them. With the masked codes but the strict-mask rows still dropped, the fork runs gave 1,177 to 1,190 kb. Keeping those rows marked, the last difference from the published workflow in how masked sites are handled, gave 1,138 kb on chr22 (run 42335592918). One chromosome of one person varies widely, so the case gates on a regression guard of 1,200 kb (and on the lowest published value, 51 kb), and prints the published figures beside the measured one. It does not claim the figure is inside the published range. The whole-genome total is measured by the release run of `public-evidence.yml`, which installs the 150 GB of archaic data once per release, not by the e2e case, and printed beside the published 42.0 to 62.0 Mb; it is not gated on it, for the reasons in the same-person comparison below. The case prints where HG002 falls inside the spread; it does not gate on the median or the 95th percentile, because one person's chromosome is one draw from that distribution. The same-person comparison below shows the input's coverage is not why the step finds more than the published calls do.

Step 43 finds everything the released calls find, plus 4.2 Mb more on these four chromosomes. So the difference is calls the published set does not contain, not calls it has and step 43 misses.
The reported overlap leaves 32,437 bp of the lifted released calls outside step 43’s segments. The absolute claim can mislead readers assessing missed sequence.

- **Where the extra comes from.** The paper's method differs from step 43 in ways step 43 does not reproduce: (1) it uses the Altai Neanderthal only (and the Altai Denisovan), where step 43 takes the union of Altai and Vindija; on the same input the Altai segments alone are 3,819,442 bp and Vindija's alone 5,001,594 bp, against 6,027,711 for the union; (2) it runs IBDmix per 1000 Genomes subgroup (CEU), where step 43 uses the frequencies of all 2,504 people or of the continent; (3) it refines the Neanderthal call set by removing regions called Denisovan in Africans and Neanderthal anywhere, and regions in the top 0.1% of derived-allele proportion in the Neanderthal genome, which it reports lowers each population by several Mb; (4) it masks CpG sites, which step 43 does not (see Notes). With the Altai genome alone the total is still 2.0 times her released figure, which leaves the refinements and the CpG mask.
What this means for the figure step 43 reports. It is the union of the Altai and Vindija segments at LOD 4 and 50 kb, without the paper's call-set refinements, so it is larger than the published per-person totals by design: 2.0 times on the Altai genome alone and 3.2 times on the union for NA12878 over four chromosomes, and 2.1 times the published median for HG002 over the genome. The published 42.0 to 62.0 Mb (median 51.6 Mb) is a figure for the paper's method; it is not a range step 43's number should fall into, and the earlier range of 49.9 to 82.9 Mb was not that either (it was stated for the Altai and Vindija union, which the paper does not use). The step's number is an upper-end estimate of the Neanderthal sequence a person carries, and compares between people run through the same step, not with a published total.

Step 43 finds everything the released calls find, plus 4.2 Mb more on these four chromosomes. So the difference is calls the published set does not contain, not calls it has and step 43 misses.

Review comment at @docs/43-archaic.md at line 118:
Qualify the recovery claim about step 43 and the lifted released calls: replace
the absolute statement that step 43 finds everything they find with wording that
reports 4.2 Mb outside the released calls and acknowledges that 32,437 bp of
lifted released calls fall outside step 43’s segments. Preserve the stated
overlap figures.
