Abstract excerpt
The frequency and distribution of genetic polymorphism in the human genome is a question of major importance. We have studied this in highly conserved genes, which encode crucial functions such as DNA replication, mRNA transcription, and translation. Evolutionary comparisons suggest that these genes are under particularly strong selective pressure, and their frequency of nucleotide sequence polymorphism would be...
