Evolutionary forces shaping genomic islands of population differentiation in humans.

BMC genomics - 22 Mar 2012

Hofer Tamara, Foll Matthieu, Excoffier Laurent

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Levels of differentiation among populations depend both on demographic and selective factors: genetic drift and local adaptation increase population differentiation, which is eroded by gene flow and balancing selection. We describe here the genomic distribution and the properties of genomic regions with unusually high and low levels of population differentiation in humans to assess the influence of...
