A Chronological Atlas of Natural Selection in the Human Genome during the Past Half-million Years
2015-05-05
Abstract excerpt
The spatiotemporal distribution of recent human adaptation is a long standing question. We developed a new coalescent-based method that collectively assigned human genome regions to modes of neutrality or to positive, negative, or balancing selection. Most importantly, the selection times were estimated for all positive selection signals, which ranged over the last half million years, penetrating the emergence of...
