Abstract excerpt
Advances in paleogenetics allowed the identification of protein-coding changes unique to Homo sapiens by comparing present-day and archaic hominin genomes. So far, experimental validation has been restricted to functional assays and model organisms. Large-scale biobanking now makes it possible to directly assess phenotypic consequences in living adults. Querying exomes of 455,000 UK Biobank participants at 37...
