Patterns of shared signatures of recent positive selection across human populations

2017-02-17

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Scans for positive selection in human populations have identified hundreds of sites across the genome with evidence of recent adaptation. These signatures often overlap across populations, but the question of how often these overlaps represent a single ancestral event remains unresolved. If a single positive selection event spread across many populations, the same sweeping haplotype should appea...
