The genes are sorted from left to right by highest to lowest mean selection across the 19 populations exhibiting a p-value < 0.1 for selection associated with HIV-1. The cumulative effect of a moderate selection signal allows for the detection of positive selection in these genes. The top 3 genes are KARS, NGLY1, and POLR2K (leftmost on the axis) are known inhibit HIV-1 replication.
