GC-biased evolution near human accelerated regions.

PLoS genetics - 20 May 2010

Katzman Sol, Kern Andrew D, Pollard Katherine S, Salama Sofie R, Haussler David

Abstract excerpt

Regions of the genome that have been the target of positive selection specifically along the human lineage are of special importance in human biology. We used high throughput sequencing combined with methods to enrich human genomic samples for particular targets to obtain the sequence of 22 chromosomal samples at high depth in 40 kb neighborhoods of 49 previously identified 100-400 bp elements that show evidence...
