Detecting ancient positive selection in humans using extended lineage sorting

2016-12-11

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Natural selection that affected modern humans early in their evolution has likely shaped some of the traits that set present-day humans apart from their closest extinct and living relatives. The ability to detect ancient natural selection in the human genome could provide insights into the molecular basis for these human-specific traits. Here, we introduce a method for detecting ancient selectiv...
