The first two rows give the regression coefficients for the linear model FST = β0 + β1B + ε, where B represents the mean background selection coefficient for the bin being tested and FST is the estimated FST for all population comparisons within a particular pair of continental groups (given in the column header). The final column, “Global”, gives the regression coefficients for the linear model applied to all pairwise population comparisons (150 total). The correlation coefficient, r, between B and FST for each comparison is shown in the bottom row. Standard errors of the mean (SEM) for β0, β1, and r were calculated from 1,000 bootstrap iterations (see Materials and Methods). P-values are derived from a two-sided t-test of the t-value for the corresponding regression coefficient.
