The genomic signatures of natural selection in admixed human populations.

Abstract excerpt

Admixture has been a pervasive phenomenon in human history, extensively shaping the patterns of population genetic diversity. There is increasing evidence to suggest that admixture can also facilitate genetic adaptation to local environments, i.e., admixed populations acquire beneficial mutations from source populations, a process that we refer to as "adaptive admixture." However, the role of adaptive admixture...
