Fibrosis and structural remodeling of the lung tissue can significantly impair lung function,
often with fatal consequences. The etiology of pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is diverse and …

Gene expression is central to the genotype-phenotype relationship in all organisms, and it is
an important component of the genetic basis for evolutionary change in diverse aspects of …

Parasites and infectious diseases are everywhere and represent some of the most potent
forces shaping the natural world. They affect almost every aspect imaginable in the life of …

Previous genome-wide scans of positive natural selection in humans have identified a
number of non-neutrally evolving genes that play important roles in skin pigmentation …

Pathogens have always been a major cause of human mortality, so they impose strong
selective pressure on the human genome. Data from population genetic studies, including …

Human Evolutionary Genetics is a groundbreaking text which for the first time brings
together molecular genetics and genomics to the study of the origins and movements of …

A new field of genetic analysis of global gene expression has emerged in recent years,
driven by the realization that traditional techniques of linkage and association analysis can …

In this review, we focus on the biogeographical distribution of genetic variation and address
whether or not populations cluster according to the popular concept of'race'. We show that …

The past decade of advances in molecular genetic technology has heralded a new era for
all evolutionary studies, but especially the science of human evolution. Data on various …

The study of variability within species is important to all biologists who use genetic markers.
Since the discovery of molecular variability among normal individuals, data have been …
