Greater strength of selection and higher proportion of beneficial amino acid changing mutations in humans compared to mice and <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i>

2018-09-26

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Quantifying and comparing the amount of adaptive evolution among different species is key to understanding evolutionary processes. Previous studies have shown differences in adaptive evolution across species; however, their specific causes remain elusive. Here, we use improved modeling of weakly deleterious mutations and the demographic history of the outgroup species and ancestral population an...
