The molecular signature of selection underlying human adaptations.

American journal of physical anthropology - 1 Jan 2006

Harris Eugene E, Meyer Diogo

Abstract excerpt

In the last decade, advances in human population genetics and comparative genomics have resulted in important contributions to our understanding of human genetic diversity and genetic adaptation. For the first time, we are able to reliably detect the signature of natural selection from patterns of DNA polymorphism. Identifying the effects of natural selection in this way provides a crucial piece of evidence...
