Evidence that viruses, particularly SIV, drove genetic adaptation in natural populations of eastern chimpanzees

2019-03-21

Abstract excerpt

All four subspecies of chimpanzees are endangered. Differing in their demographic histories and geographical ranges within sub-Saharan Africa, they have likely adapted to different environmental factors. We show that highly differentiated SNPs in eastern chimpanzees are uniquely enriched in genic sites in a way that is expected under recent adaptation. These sites are enriched for genes that differentiate the immu...
