Accounting for diverse evolutionary forces reveals the mosaic nature of selection on genomic regions associated with human preterm birth

2019-10-24

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Human pregnancy requires the coordinated function of multiple tissues in both mother and fetus and has evolved in concert with major human adaptations. As a result, pregnancy-associated phenotypes and related disorders are genetically complex and have likely been sculpted by diverse evolutionary forces. However, there is no framework to comprehensively evaluate how these traits evolved or to exp...
