Global diversity, recurrent evolution, and recent selection on amylase structural haplotypes in humans

2024-02-09

Abstract excerpt

The adoption of agriculture, first documented ∼12,000 years ago in the Fertile Crescent, triggered a rapid shift toward starch-rich diets in human populations. Amylase genes facilitate starch digestion and increased salivary amylase copy number has been observed in some modern human populations with high starch intake, though evidence of recent selection is lacking. Here, using 52 long-read diploid assemblies and...
