| Abstract: | (CIT): There is now a flood of data on sequence variation in the human genome. However, we still understand poorly the evolutionary processes that have given rise to the observed variation. Key issues include the relative contributions of genetic drift, balancing selection, local adaptation, and mutation-selection balance in producing phenotypically important variation, as well as the time scale on which most of this variation has arisen. This seminar will address these issues in light of new data on long-range-sequence variation at human loci that are known, or suspected, to have been under selection. |
