  1. a Probability of a marker being under selection, as previously reported by Foll and Gaggiotti (2008) using a Bayesian approach under a non-hierarchical genetic structure. A cross indicates a marker that was not tested by these authors.
  2. b Distance from closest gene transcript, including any known gene.
  3. c Biological process is unclassified in the PANTHER (Thomas et al., 2003) data base.
  4. d This gene was not found in the PANTHER data base.
