Chromosome X-wide analysis of positive selection in human populations: from common and private signals to selection impact on inactivated genes and enhancers-like signatures

2021-05-28

Abstract excerpt

The ability of detecting adaptive (positive) selection in the genome has opened the possibility of understanding the genetic bases of population-specific adaptations genome-wide. Here we present the analysis of recent selective sweeps specifically in the X chromosome in different human populations from the third phase of the 1000 Genomes Project using three different haplotype-based statistics. We describe numerou...
