Overdominance in the human genome and olfactory receptor activity.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 May 2008

Alonso Santos, López Saioa, Izagirre Neskuts, de la Rúa Concepción

Abstract excerpt

We investigate the contribution of overdominance to the maintenance of polymorphism in the human genome during the recent evolution of our species. Using the HapMap genotypic information, we have detected that the Gene Ontology term "olfactory receptor activity" is a molecular function overrepres...
