Table 2.

Two regions with trans-species polymorphisms shared between humans and chimpanzees

Expected length of the Number of shared
Region (the nearest gene) Observed length of the regiona, b ancestral segment (upper 95% quantile) Number of all shared SNPs (number of shared SNPs at non-CpG sites)b SNPs in other primate speciecsc LD pattern among shared SNPs
FREM3 6.7 kb 263 bp 13 3 In almost perfect LD
(800 bp) (13) (Among both 31 gorillas with the same alleles
and 10 orangutans) coupled in both species
IGFBP7 870 bp 263 bp 5 1 Within cluster 1 or 2: in
(clusters 1 and 2) (800 bp) (2) (Among both 31 gorillas almost perfect LD with
and 10 orangutans) the same alleles coupled
in both species
Between clusters 1 and 2: in strong LD with the opposite phases (i.e., with different alleles coupled) in the two species
IGFBP7 200 bp 263 bp 3 None Within cluster 3: in almost
(cluster 3) (800 bp) (1) perfect LD with the same
alleles coupled in both species
With clusters 1 and 2: in strong LD in chimpanzees but not in LD in humans

The span of the region is defined as the distance between the two outermost shared SNPs that are in significant LD in both species.
