Uncovering adaptive evolution in the human lineage.

BMC genomics - 16 Jul 2014

Gayà-Vidal Magdalena, Albà M Mar

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The recent increase in human polymorphism data, together with the availability of genome sequences from several primate species, provides an unprecedented opportunity to investigate how natural selection has shaped human evolution. RESULTS: We compared human branch-specific substitutions with variation data in the current human population to measure the impact of adaptive evolution on human protein...
