Maintenance of copy number variation at the human salivary agglutinin gene ( <i>DMBT1</i> ) by balancing selection driven by host-microbe interactions

2021-10-30

Abstract excerpt

Most genetic variation in humans occurs in a pattern consistent with neutral evolution, but a small subset is maintained by balancing selection. Identifying loci under balancing selection is important not only for understanding the processes explaining variation in the genome, but also to identify loci with alleles that affect response to the environment and disease. Several genome scans using genetic variation da...
