Top 5 annotated peaks in each of the ancestry-specific selection studies. MXL-specific = scan for selection in Native American ancestry of MXL. GBR-specific = scan for selection in European ancestry of GBR. CHB-specific = scan for selection in CHB ancestry of CHB. YRI-specific = scan for selection in Yoruba African ancestry or ancestral non-African ancestry. We analyzed 5,601,710 variable sites across the autosomal genomes. We inferred genome-wide allele frequencies and covariances as described in Materials and Methods section. We applied a likelihood model for each SNP by rescaling all variances and covariances by a scalar multiplier α. Descriptions of each candidate region are in table 1. LLR, log-likelihood ratio score.
