The neutral theory in the genomic era.

Current opinion in genetics & development - 1 Dec 2001

Abstract excerpt

A number of tests have been developed to detect positive selection at the molecular level. These tests are based on DNA polymorphism within and divergence between species. Applications of these tests have revealed a large collection of genes that have evolved under positive selection and some general insights into adaptive evolution. Recently, these tests have been applied on a genomic scale and have provided...
