Genomic patterns of selection and differentiation in African populations and implications for mapping disease association

2009-01-01

Abstract excerpt

The main objective of this thesis is to gain a better understanding of genomic patterns of natural selection and population differentiation in Africa, where there is great genetic diversity, and of the implications for genetic mapping of complex diseases. I began by studying two neighbouring villages in eastern Sudan that are of different ethnicity, Hausa and Masalit, and that appear to have different susceptibili...
