Haplotype structure and evidence for positive selection at the human IL13 locus.
Interleukin-13 (IL13) is believed to play an important role in the pathogenesis of atopy and allergic asthma. To better understand genetic variation at the IL13 locus, we resequenced a 5.1-kb genomic region spanning the entire locus and identified 26 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 74 individuals from three major populations-Chinese, Caucasian, and African. Our survey suggests excepti...
متن کاملPositive selection versus demography: evolutionary inferences based on an unusual haplotype structure in Drosophila simulans.
Coalescent simulations were used to investigate the possible role of population subdivision and history in shaping nucleotide variation in a recombining 88-kb genomic fragment of Drosophila simulans displaying an unusual large-scale haplotype structure. The multilocus analysis, based on summary statistics using specific demographic null models under recombination, indicates that the observed le...
متن کاملrehh 2.0: a reimplementation of the R package rehh to detect positive selection from haplotype structure.
Identifying genomic regions with unusually high local haplotype homozygosity represents a powerful strategy to characterize candidate genes responding to natural or artificial positive selection. To that end, statistics measuring the extent of haplotype homozygosity within (e.g. EHH, iHS) and between (Rsb or XP-EHH) populations have been proposed in the literature. The rehh package for r was pr...
متن کاملA hidden Markov model for investigating recent positive selection through haplotype structure.
Recent positive selection can increase the frequency of an advantageous mutant rapidly enough that a relatively long ancestral haplotype will be remained intact around it. We present a hidden Markov model (HMM) to identify such haplotype structures. With HMM identified haplotype structures, a population genetic model for the extent of ancestral haplotypes is then adopted for parameter inference...
متن کاملPossible Positive Selection for an Arsenic-Protective Haplotype in Humans
BACKGROUND Arsenic in drinking water causes severe health effects. Indigenous people in the South American Andes have likely lived with arsenic-contaminated drinking water for thousands of years. Inhabitants of San Antonio de los Cobres (SAC) in the Argentinean highlands generally carry an AS3MT (the major arsenic-metabolizing gene) haplotype associated with reduced health risks due to rapid ar...
