Quantifying the contribution of Neanderthal introgression to the heritability of complex traits

2020-06-08

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> Nearly all Eurasians have ∼2% Neanderthal ancestry due to several events of inbreeding between anatomically modern humans and archaic hominins. Previous studies characterizing the legacy of Neanderthal ancestry in modern Eurasians have identified examples of both adaptive and deleterious effects of admixture. However, we lack a comprehensive understanding of the genome-wide...
