Comparative Population Genomics across Three Continents Reveals Immune Adaptation and Implications for Vaccine Development

2026-08-07

Abstract excerpt

Human populations have evolved distinct immune responses to local pathogens, and investigating signatures of natural selection across populations can reveal both shared and population-specific immune response mechanisms. We compared genomic signatures of natural selection in Senegalese, Thai, and Peruvian populations using two complementary methods, hypothesising that this tri-continental comparison would reveal p...
