An Isaac Newton Institute WorkshopRecent Advances in Statistical Genetics and BioinformaticsDetecting Selection from Population Genetic Data14th December 2006 Authors: Rasmus Nielsen (University of Copenhagen), Carlos D. Bustamante (), Scott Williamson (), Melissa Hubisz (), Andrew G. Clark () AbstractWe will present an analysis of several large scale human populaiton genetic data sets. We use a combination of simulation and analytical approaches to identify genes and genomic regions targeted by Darwinian selection. The biological implications of some of the results are discussed. |
