Haplotype homozygosity and derived alleles in the human genome.

Abstract excerpt

Haplotype-based techniques are being used to estimate the relative age of alleles--particularly in screening loci for signals of recent positive selection--but does this approach capture even coarse age differences? Using simulations and empirical data from the International HapMap Project, we show that a simple pairwise metric of haplotype homozygosity gives significantly higher mean values for human...
