dbPSHP: a database of recent positive selection across human populations
The dbPSHP database (http://jjwanglab.org/dbpshp) aims to help researchers to efficiently identify, validate and visualize putative positively selected loci in human evolution and further discover the mechanism governing these natural selections. Recent evolution of human populations at the genomic level reflects the adaptations to the living environments, including climate change and availabil...
متن کاملInterrogating 11 fast-evolving genes for signatures of recent positive selection in worldwide human populations.
Different signatures of natural selection persist over varying time scales in our genome, revealing possible episodes of adaptative evolution during human history. Here, we identify genes showing signatures of ancestral positive selection in the human lineage and investigate whether some of those genes have been evolving adaptatively in extant human populations. Specifically, we compared more t...
متن کاملA genome-wide scan to detect signatures of recent selection in Australian Merino sheep
Domestication and selection are processes that conserve the pattern of genetic diversities between and within populations. Identification of genomic regions that are targets of selection for phenotypic traits is one of the main aims of research in animal genetics. An approach for identifying divergently selected regions of the genome is to compare FST values among loci to estimate the genetic v...
متن کاملComparing Patterns of Natural Selection across Species Using Selective Signatures
Comparing gene expression profiles over many different conditions has led to insights that were not obvious from single experiments. In the same way, comparing patterns of natural selection across a set of ecologically distinct species may extend what can be learned from individual genome-wide surveys. Toward this end, we show how variation in protein evolutionary rates, after correcting for ge...
متن کاملExamination of signatures of recent positive selection on genes involved in human sialic
20 Sialic acids are nine carbon sugars ubiquitously found on the surfaces of vertebrate cells 21 and are involved in various immune response-related processes. In humans, at least 58 genes 22 spanning diverse functions, from biosynthesis and activation to recycling and degradation, are 23 involved in sialic acid biology. Because of their role in immunity, sialic acid biology genes have 24 been ...
