Adaptations to new environments in humans: the role of subtle allele frequency shifts.

Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences - 27 Aug 2010

Hancock Angela M, Alkorta-Aranburu Gorka, Witonsky David B, Di Rienzo Anna

Abstract excerpt

Humans show tremendous phenotypic diversity across geographically distributed populations, and much of this diversity undoubtedly results from genetic adaptations to different environmental pressures. The availability of genome-wide genetic variation data from densely sampled populations offers unprecedented opportunities for identifying the loci responsible for these adaptations and for elucidating the genetic...
