Polygenic patterns of adaptive introgression in modern humans are mainly shaped by response to pathogens
2019-08-12
Abstract excerpt
Anatomically modern humans carry many introgressed variants from other hominins in their genomes. Some of them affect their phenotype and can thus be negatively or positively selected. Several individual genes have been proposed to be the subject of adaptive introgression, but the possibility of polygenic adaptive introgression has not been extensively investigated yet. In this study, we analyze archaic introgress...
