Admixture-enabled selection for rapid adaptive evolution in the Americas

2019-09-28

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Admixture occurs when previously isolated populations come together and exchange genetic material. We hypothesized that admixture can enable rapid adaptive evolution in human populations by introducing novel genetic variants (haplotypes) at intermediate frequencies, and we tested this hypothesis via the analysis of whole genome sequences sampled from admixed Latin American populations in Colom...
