The Strength of Selection against Neanderthal Introgression.

PLoS genetics - 1 Nov 2016

Juric Ivan, Aeschbacher Simon, Coop Graham

Abstract excerpt

Hybridization between humans and Neanderthals has resulted in a low level of Neanderthal ancestry scattered across the genomes of many modern-day humans. After hybridization, on average, selection appears to have removed Neanderthal alleles from the human population. Quantifying the strength and causes of this selection against Neanderthal ancestry is key to understanding our relationship to Neanderthals and,...
