Signatures of positive selection apparent in a small sample of human exomes.

Abstract excerpt

Exome sequences, which comprise all protein-coding regions, are promising data sets for studies of natural selection because they offer unbiased genome-wide estimates of polymorphism while focusing on the portions of the genome that are most likely to be functionally important. We examine genomic patterns of polymorphism within 10 diploid autosomal exomes of European and African descent. Using coalescent...
