Identification of local selective sweeps in human populations since the exodus from Africa.

Hereditas - 1 Jun 2008

Johansson Asa, Gyllensten Ulf

Abstract excerpt

Selection on the human genome has been studied using comparative genomics and SNP architecture in the lineage leading to modern humans. In connection with the African exodus and colonization of other continents, human populations have adapted to a range of different environmental conditions. Usin...
