Searching for evidence of positive selection in the human genome using patterns of microsatellite variability.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Jul 2002

Payseur Bret A, Cutter Asher D, Nachman Michael W

Abstract excerpt

Both natural selection and nonequilibrium population-level processes can lead to a skew in the frequency distribution of polymorphisms. Population-level processes are expected to affect all loci in a roughly equal fashion, whereas selection will affect only some regions of the genome. We conducte...
