Immune-driven positive and balancing selection in human populations

2019-01-01

Abstract excerpt

This thesis examines the evidence for positive and balancing selection on immune genes in 388 individuals grouped into thirteen geographically diverse populations. The data are high coverage whole genome sequences, many from populations that have been sparsely represented in global genetic diversity studies in the past. Two main analyses were performed for both positive and balancing selection: enrichment tests fo...
