δw
|
Estimate of the average nucleotide substitution divergence at polarized sites in a window, weighted by (allele) sampling depth. |
(1) |
πw
|
Estimate of the expected heterozygosity for nucleotide substitutions per site in a random sample from a randomly mating population. Weighting is by allele sampling depth and the standard bias correction is applied to each. |
(2) |
ρ |
Population recombination parameter: ρ = 2Nr/bp for both autosomes and the X chromosome. For local genomic estimates of 2Nr/bp, is determined via statistical fitting to an approximation of the equilibrium between mutation to selectively equivalent alleles and genetic drift in a single, stable outbreeding population (McVean et al. 2004). |
|
rω
|
Linkage disequilibrium oriented by the allele frequencies. Let p and q be the frequencies of the more common alleles at two loci, p > 1/2 and q > 1/2 (Langley and Crow 1974). And let g be the frequency of the gametotype composed of those two more common alleles. Then . |
|
HKAl |
Hudson–Kreitman–Aguadé-like test statistic reflecting the significance of the deviation of the observed proportions of segregating and diverged sites in a window to the chromosome-arm averages under a model for the equilibrium between mutation to selectively equivalent alleles and genetic drift in a single stable outbreeding population (Hudson et al. 1987; Ford and Aquadro 1996). |
(3) |
TsD |
A test statistic for either an excess (+) or a deficiency (−) of common alleles compared to the predictions of a model for the equilibrium between mutation to selectively equivalent alleles and genetic drift in a single stable outbreeding population (Tajima 1989). |
(4) |
χ[log(p)] |
“+” or “−” the log10 of the P-value for a test statistics such as HKAl and TsD. The sign reflects the sign of the deviation from expectation: the number of segregating sites in the case of HKAl and the frequency spectrum for TsD. |
|
π/min(divl, divg) |
A simple metric of reduced diversity in a window where the denominator is the lesser of local divergence and global average divergence. |
|
s |
The difference in relative fitness of homozygotes for alternative alleles at a locus. The heterozygote’s relative fitness is 1 − hs, where h is the dominance coefficient. |
|
r |
The rate of recombination between two closely linked genomic sites, usually adjacent base pairs unless otherwise indicated. |
|
|
Estimated rate of recombination per base pair based on local smoothing of incremental change in the standard genetic map. |
|
ρS
|
Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient. |
