The proteins encoded by the classical HLA class I and class II genes in the major
histocompatibility complex (MHC) are highly polymorphic and are essential in self versus …

Population genetic statistics from multilocus genotype data inform our understanding of the
patterns of genetic variation and their implications for evolutionary studies, generally, and …

Outcomes of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and treatment depend on viral and host
genetic factors. Here we use human genome-wide genotyping arrays and new whole …

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a debilitating condition that adversely affect mental
