Accelerated genetic drift on chromosome X during the human dispersal out of Africa.

Nature genetics - 1 Jan 2009

Keinan Alon, Mullikin James C, Patterson Nick, Reich David

Abstract excerpt

Comparisons of chromosome X and the autosomes can illuminate differences in the histories of males and females as well as shed light on the forces of natural selection. We compared the patterns of variation in these parts of the genome using two datasets that we assembled for this study that are...
