Table 4. Allele frequencies at candidate sites under selection in human gamete-recognition genes.
Entries on the left show frequencies for ancestral and derived alleles (ancestral alleles listed first) in four continental population groups in the 1000 Genomes Phase 1 release. Entries on the right show the minor allele frequency (MAF) summed over all populations, and the number of nonsynonymous SNPs in a 90.3 Mbp interval on the same chromosome that had a MAF greater than or equal to the candidate site (relative to N, the total number of nonsynonymous SNPS in parentheses). The significance of the MAF is characterized by P (the proportion of N with a MAF greater than or equal to the MAF for the candidate site).
