The Contribution of Neanderthals to Phenotypic Variation in Modern Humans.

American journal of human genetics - 5 Oct 2017

Dannemann Michael, Kelso Janet

Abstract excerpt

Assessing the genetic contribution of Neanderthals to non-disease phenotypes in modern humans has been difficult because of the absence of large cohorts for which common phenotype information is available. Using baseline phenotypes collected for 112,000 individuals by the UK Biobank, we can now elaborate on previous findings that identified associations between signatures of positive selection on Neanderthal DNA...
