As human populations dispersed throughout the world, they were subjected to new selective
forces, which must have led to local adaptation via natural selection and hence altered …

There is an increasing interest in detecting genes, or genomic regions, that have been
targeted by natural selection. The interest stems from a basic desire to learn more about …

The recent availability of genome-scale genotyping data has led to the identification of
regions of the human genome that seem to have been targeted by selection. These findings …

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 …
