Extended Data Fig. 8: Diagnostic parameters in composite-likelihood ratio tests of selection in major venom regions.
From: The roles of balancing selection and recombination in the evolution of rattlesnake venom
Results of composite-likelihood ratio tests of balancing selection and diagnostic parameters in the SVMP (a-b), SVSP (c-d), and PLA2 (e-f) venom gene regions. Top and middle panels show B0,MAF scores, log\(\widehat {(A)}\), and \(\hat x\) parameters as shown in Fig. 3 and Extended Data Fig. 9. Dark blue arrows show locations of venom genes and dashed lines show the genome-wide 95th quantile. Lower panels show the dispersion parameter, log\(\widehat {(a)}\), where positive values indicate balancing selection in regions with high B0,MAF scores and negative values are indicative of positive selection. The dashed horizontal line indicates 0 on the y-axis.
