Imprint of Assortative Mating on the Human Genome

2018-04-13

Abstract excerpt

Non-random mate-choice with respect to complex traits is widely observed in humans, but whether this reflects true phenotypic assortment, environment (social homogamy) or convergence after choosing a partner is not known. Understanding the causes of mate choice is important, because assortative mating (AM) if based upon heritable traits, has genetic and evolutionary consequences. AM is predicted under Fisher’s cla...
