A new approach for using genome scans to detect recent positive selection in the human genome.

PLoS biology - 1 Jul 2007

Tang Kun, Thornton Kevin R, Stoneking Mark

Abstract excerpt

Genome-wide scanning for signals of recent positive selection is essential for a comprehensive and systematic understanding of human adaptation. Here, we present a genomic survey of recent local selective sweeps, especially aimed at those nearly or recently completed. A novel approach was developed for such signals, based on contrasting the extended haplotype homozygosity (EHH) profiles between populations. We...
