Genome-wide scans for loci under selection in humans.

Human genomics - 1 Jun 2005

Ronald James, Akey Joshua M

Abstract excerpt

Natural selection, which can be defined as the differential contribution of genetic variants to future generations, is the driving force of Darwinian evolution. Identifying regions of the human genome that have been targets of natural selection is an important step in clarifying human evolutionary history and understanding how genetic variation results in phenotypic diversity, it may also facilitate the search...
