title: Data from: Detecting past and ongoing natural selection among ethnically Tibetan women at high altitude in Nepal

description: Adaptive evolution in humans has rarely been characterized for its whole
 set of components, i.e. selective pressure, adaptive phenotype, beneficial
 alleles and realized fitness differential. We combined approaches for
 detecting selective sweeps and polygenic adaptations and for mapping the
 genetic bases of physiological and fertility phenotypes in approximately
 1000 indigenous ethnically Tibetan women from Nepal, adapted to high
 altitude. We performed genome-wide association analysis and tests for
 polygenic adaptations which showed evidence of positive selection for
 alleles associated with more pregnancies and live births and evidence of
 negative selection for those associated with higher offspring mortality.
 Lower hemoglobin level did not show clear evidence for polygenic
 adaptation, despite its strong association with an EPAS1 haplotype
 carrying selective sweep signals.
