New insights into human immunity from ancient genomics.

Current opinion in immunology - 1 Oct 2021

Kerner Gaspard, Patin Etienne, Quintana-Murci Lluis

Abstract excerpt

Population genetic studies have clearly indicated that immunity and host defense are among the functions most frequently subject to natural selection, and increased our understanding of the biological relevance of the corresponding genes and their contribution to variable immune traits and diseases. Herein, we will focus on some recently studied forms of human adaptation to infectious agents, including...
