Parallel adaptive divergence among geographically diverse human populations.

PLoS genetics - 1 Jun 2011

Tennessen Jacob A, Akey Joshua M

Abstract excerpt

Few genetic differences between human populations conform to the classic model of positive selection, in which a newly arisen mutation rapidly approaches fixation in one lineage, suggesting that adaptation more commonly occurs via moderate changes in standing variation at many loci. Detecting and...
