A ricle A Test for Ancient Selective Sweeps and an Application to Candidate Sites in Modern Humans
We introduce a new method to detect ancient selective sweeps centered on a candidate site. We explored different patterns produced by sweeps around a fixed beneficial mutation, and found that a particularly informative statistic measures the consistency between majority haplotypes near the mutation and genotypic data from a closely related population. We incorporated this statistic into an appr...

متن کاملStrong Selective Sweeps on the X Chromosome in the Human-Chimpanzee Ancestor Explain Its Low Divergence
The human and chimpanzee X chromosomes are less divergent than expected based on autosomal divergence. We study incomplete lineage sorting patterns between humans, chimpanzees and gorillas to show that this low divergence can be entirely explained by megabase-sized regions comprising one-third of the X chromosome, where polymorphism in the human-chimpanzee ancestral species was severely reduced...
متن کاملA human reproductive approach to the study of infertility in chimpanzees: An experience at Leon’s Zoological Park, Mexico
Great apes are mammals close to humans in their genetic, behavioral, social and evolutionary characteristics and new genomic information is revolutionizing our understanding of evolution in primates. However, all these species are endangered. While there are many global programs to protect these species, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) projects that in a near future th...
متن کاملOn Characterizing Adaptive Events Unique to Modern Humans Authors
1 Ever since the first draft of the human genome was completed in 2001 there has been 2 increased interest in identifying genetic changes that are uniquely human, which could account 3 for our distinct morphological and cognitive capabilities with respect to other apes. Recently, 4 draft sequences of two extinct hominin genomes, a Neanderthal and Denisovan, have been 5 released. These two genom...
