Signatures of Archaic Adaptive Introgression in Present-Day Human Populations.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Feb 2017

Racimo Fernando, Marnetto Davide, Huerta-Sánchez Emilia

Abstract excerpt

Comparisons of DNA from archaic and modern humans show that these groups interbred, and in some cases received an evolutionary advantage from doing so. This process-adaptive introgression-may lead to a faster rate of adaptation than is predicted from models with mutation and selection alone. Within the last couple of years, a series of studies have identified regions of the genome that are likely examples of...
