Extreme evolutionary disparities seen in positive selection across seven complex diseases.

PloS one - 17 Aug 2010

Corona Erik, Dudley Joel T, Butte Atul J

Abstract excerpt

Positive selection is known to occur when the environment that an organism inhabits is suddenly altered, as is the case across recent human history. Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have successfully illuminated disease-associated variation. However, whether human evolution is heading towa...
