Recent advances in understanding the adaptive evolution of metabolic genes and traits.

Current opinion in clinical nutrition and metabolic care - 1 Jul 2021

Yang Shuang, Ye Kaixiong

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review summarizes the recent advances in understanding the adaptive evolution of metabolic genes and traits, providing insights into gene-diet interactions in human evolution and health. RECENT FINDINGS: The rapid accumulation of ancient DNA across time and geography illuminates unprecedented details of some well-established examples of genetic adaptation to diet, such as the LCT and FADS...
