Tracing the evolution of human gene regulation and its association with shifts in environment

2021-07-05

Abstract excerpt

As humans spread throughout the world, they adapted to variation in many environmental factors, including climate, diet, and pathogens. Because many of these adaptations were likely mediated by multiple non-coding variants with small effects on gene regulation, it has been difficult to link genomic signals of selection to specific genes, and to describe the regulatory response to selection. To overcome this challe...
