Evolutionary and population (epi)genetics of immunity to infection.

Human genetics - 1 Jun 2020

Barreiro Luis B, Quintana-Murci Lluis

Abstract excerpt

Immune response is one of the functions that have been more strongly targeted by natural selection during human evolution. The evolutionary genetic dissection of the immune system has greatly helped to distinguish genes and functions that are essential, redundant or advantageous for human survival. It is also becoming increasingly clear that admixture between early Eurasians with now-extinct hominins such as...
