Widespread genomic signatures of natural selection in hominid evolution.

PLoS genetics - 1 May 2009

McVicker Graham, Gordon David, Davis Colleen, Green Phil

Abstract excerpt

Selection acting on genomic functional elements can be detected by its indirect effects on population diversity at linked neutral sites. To illuminate the selective forces that shaped hominid evolution, we analyzed the genomic distributions of human polymorphisms and sequence differences among five primate species relative to the locations of conserved sequence features. Neutral sequence diversity in human and...
