Extraordinary selection on the human X chromosome associated with archaic admixture

2022-09-20

Abstract excerpt

The X chromosome in non-African human populations shows less diversity and less Neanderthal introgression than expected under the standard neutral model. We analyzed 162 X chromosomes from human males worldwide and discovered 14 chromosomal regions where haplotypes of several hundred kilobases rapidly rose to high frequencies in non-Africans. These observations cannot be explained by neutral genetic drift in reali...
