Widespread signatures of recent selection linked to nucleosome positioning in the human lineage.

Genome research - 1 Nov 2011

Prendergast James G D, Semple Colin A M

Abstract excerpt

In this study we investigated the strengths and modes of selection associated with nucleosome positioning in the human lineage through the comparison of interspecies and intraspecies rates of divergence. We identify significant evidence for both positive and negative selection linked to human nucleosome positioning for the first time, implicating a widespread and important role for DNA sequence in the location of...
