  1. 79 genes that overlap with windows under balancing selection (p value < 0.0005) in both the human and chimpanzee lineages are included in the enrichment analysis. Only the top terms in the enrichment results are shown in the table, and the full list of terms is shown in Additional file 2: Tables S14-S16
