Frequency distributions of two loci (BM1818 and MCM527) were indicative of balancing selection at the 99.5% probability level, whereas directional selection was suggested at the loci MAF035 and ILSTS029.
Finally, an excess of polymorphism in the HKA test or extreme high values of θ are indicative of balancing selection but could also be the result of artifacts due to assembly errors in duplicated regions.
The lowest 5% of negative values (potentially indicative of purifying selection) and the highest 5% of positive values (potentially indicative of balancing or diversifying selection) were defined as being under strong selection.
Posterior probabilities, q values and alpha coefficients (positive values indicate diversifying selection, negative values are indicative of balancing selection) were calculated.
We showed that one of the five genes tested exhibited a significantly elevated rate of synonymous polymorphism, indicative of balancing selection.
One of the genes, the high-affinity zinc transporter ZRT1 showed an elevated rate of synonymous polymorphism indicative of balancing selection.

The preponderance and distribution of non-synonymous SNPs, however, are perhaps indicative of balanced selection.
Interestingly, we also found a much less marked divergence between Asian and European haplotypes than found with genome wide markers; that, together with the high variability, may be indicative of a balancing selection at these loci, in particular for bitter taste receptors.
The stoichiometric conservation of gene expression in woody and non-woody tissues of Eucalyptus and Populus are indicative of gene balance preservation.
We used standardised differences to compare baseline characteristics between groups, with differences of less than 0.1 generally indicative of good balance.
Similarly, positive values of these tests are indicative not only of balancing selection but also of the presence of strong population structure within the study-population (i.e., the study-population is indeed subdivided into different subpopulations), which may increase the proportion of alleles of intermediate frequency in the population (Kreitman 2000; Voight et al. 2005).
