  1. Shown are (1) base-pair position on the full sequence (including introns and exons), (2) base-pair position on the concatenated exon sequence, (3) amino-acid position on the polypeptide sequence, (4) identities of amino acids segregating at high frequency in each population, and (5) FST between low- and high-altitude populations of each species. Asterisks further denote a change in amino-acid polarity.
  2. aIndicates the ancestral amino acid also present in the chicken genome.
