A map of recent positive selection in the human genome.

PLoS biology - 1 Mar 2006

Voight Benjamin F, Kudaravalli Sridhar, Wen Xiaoquan, Pritchard Jonathan K

Abstract excerpt

The identification of signals of very recent positive selection provides information about the adaptation of modern humans to local conditions. We report here on a genome-wide scan for signals of very recent positive selection in favor of variants that have not yet reached fixation. We describe a new analytical method for scanning single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data for signals of recent selection, and...
