Figures

Figure 1
Figure 1
RS scores inversely correlate with DAF of single-nucleotide variants (n=48,750) in 8 HapMap exomes. The average DAF (Y-axis) is plotted for all variants at a site within a given RS bin (X-axis). Error bars show 1 standard error unit.
Figure 2
Figure 2
Constraint scores enrich for disease-causing genes. (a). Number of genes (Y-axis, log-scale) in which at least the given number of FSS individuals (X-axis) has a rare variant that is functionally defined (white), or with increasing RS scores (light gray to black). The total number of candidate genes defined at RS > 0 and the rank of MYH3 among those genes are indicated below the graph. (b). Similar to panel A, expect for Miller syndrome, caused by mutations in DHODH.
