Subpopulation diversity and selective sweeps. (A) SVCollector curves for the most and least diverse human subpopulations (SNVs). The seven African subpopulations are the most diverse, and the five East Asian subpopulations are the least diverse according to their corresponding β values. (B) Selective sweep on Chromosome 6. For each 5-Mbp window on Chromosome 6, the β Z-scores for the 26 populations are plotted as a box plot. Window 7 corresponds to the HLA region and shows a strong signal for selective pressure acting in this region.
