Extended Data Figure 10: Estimating the minimum number of SNPs affected by selection for each trait (gallery of 12 traits also highlighted in Figure 4).

Extended Data Figure 10:

Each panel shows the correlation of a trait with selection summary statistics (rs) as a function of number of dropped loci. The right axis displays rs in blue; P-value on the left axis in orange. For each SNP, we define a priority score |β×s×f×(1-f)|, where β is the GWAS effect size, s the selection coefficient, and f allele frequency. SNPs are sorted by priority score, and in each iteration, a 2cM region around the highest priority SNP is dropped, rs is recalculated for the remaining genome, and this continues until no SNPs are left. (b) We similarly show γ estimates at right as a function of number of dropped SNPs (blue), and P-value for polygenic selection at left with dark orange P<0.0001, light orange P<0.05, and gray otherwise.
