Population Differentiation at the <i>HLA</i> Genes

2017-11-06

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Balancing selection is defined as a class of selective regimes that maintain polymorphism above what is expected under neutrality. Theory predicts that balancing selection reduces population differentiation, as measured by F ST . However, balancing selection regimes in which different sets of alleles are maintained in different populations could increase population differentiation. To tackle th...
