Genes showing extreme patterns of polymorphism that are not on the four predefined candidate lists

All genes are within 100-kb regions that are fixed in at least one continent and all have at least one nonsynonymous site with F_ST > 0.78 (“High-F_ST sites;” position in the hg18 alignment is indicated). “π_E” and “π_A” refer to the respective 100-kb region, not just the gene. “Lists” indicates other genome scans for selection, not the four we examine in this study, which have highlighted these genes as possible targets of selection; “na” indicates that no previous lists include it. The most specific Gene Ontology (GO) term, defined as that which is shared with the fewest other genes, is indicated.

^aTop 5% π for that continent.
