The evolution of lineage-specific clusters of single nucleotide substitutions in the human genome.

Molecular phylogenetics and evolution - 1 Oct 2013

Xu Ke, Wang Jianrong, Elango Navin, Yi Soojin V

Abstract excerpt

Genomic regions harboring large numbers of human-specific single nucleotide substitutions are of significant interest since they are potential genomic foci underlying the evolution of human-specific traits as well as human adaptive evolution. Previous studies aimed to identify such regions either used pre-defined genomic locations such as coding sequences and conserved genomic elements or employed sliding window...
