Detection of selection in mammalian genomes and populations

Year: 2010

Type: dissertation

Abstract: Genome-wide scans for evidence of positive selection in mammalian genomes have\nrecently become possible with the availability of whole genome sequences. They offer\na chance to identify those genes that were of most importance during evolution and\nwhich have undergone adaptive change. It has also been hypothesised that\nidentification of these signatures may reveal the genes that engender the key\nbiological differences between a species of interest and other related species.
