Figure 2

Location of ns-SNPs in relation to AHR domain structure and results of three tests for selection at individual residues. For each position, the two amino acids are indicated at their position in the expressed protein. A six base-pair deletion identified in AHR1 is indicated by an asterisk. Significant results from tests for selection are indicated by a black dot, while non-significant positions are indicated by a white dot. The top row (F*) indicates positions within each locus that were tested with Fu and Li’s F* statistic. The second row (BEB) indicates positively selected sites indicated by Bayesian posterior probabilities assessed in all unique haplotypes. The third row indicates sites with significantly different base frequencies in polluted versus reference populations, based on F-statistics (FCT). The bottom row indicates sites with significantly different base frequencies among all populations (FST). In addition to the ns-SNPs in exon 10 that were used in the present analysis, the diagram for AHR1 includes ns-SNPs in the amino-terminal portion (exons 1–9) of AHR1 that were identified earlier [51] in the SC and NBH populations or in this study. The N-terminal ns-SNPs were not included in analyses for this study. The approximate locations of the AHR1_1530 SNP (a) and AHR2_1929 SNP (b) identified by Proestou et al. [53] are indicated.
