Global proxy as a useful neutral proxy. a. Correlation between local and global tests of selection among different classes of DNA elements; the Spearman rank correlation coefficient are highly significant and very highfor DHSs (P < 2.2 × 10− 16, ρ = 0.80) and ncHAEs (P < 2.2 × 10− 16,ρ = 0.86), while correlation is low for NFRs (P < 2.2 × 10− 16, ρ = 0.52). Inner dashed lines depict a significance level of P = 0.05. b. Venn Diagram of the overlap of regions scoring high for positive selection using the global test vs the local test for DHS elements (top) and ncHAEs (bottom)
