Identifying genomic regions that have been targets of natural selection remains one of the
most important and challenging areas of research in genetics. To this end, we report an …

Identifying regions of the human genome that have been targets of positive selection will
provide important insights into recent human evolutionary history and may facilitate the …

The past fifty years have seen the development and application of numerous statistical
methods to identify genomic regions that appear to be shaped by natural selection. These …

Searching for Darwinian selection in natural populations has been the focus of a multitude of
studies over the last decades. Here we present the 1000 Genomes Selection Browser 1.0 …

The role of positive selection in human evolution remains controversial. On the one hand,
scans for positive selection have identified hundreds of candidate loci, and the genome …

Genome-wide scans for selection have identified multiple regions of the human genome as
being targeted by positive selection. However, only a small proportion has been replicated …

Population genetics has evolved from a theory-driven field with little empirical data into a
data-driven discipline in which genome-scale data sets test the limits of available models …

Positive natural selection is the force that drives the increase in prevalence of advantageous
traits, and it has played a central role in our development as a species. Until recently, the …

To characterize natural selection, various analytical methods for detecting candidate
genomic regions have been developed. We propose to perform genome-wide scans of …
