Highlights d Strong reductions in X chromosome diversity among non-Africans d Positive selection spread long haplotypes across non-African populations d The selected haplotypes spread from a population without Neanderthal admixture d An ancient male genome dates these selective sweeps to 45,000-55,000 years BP

Characterizing the evolution and phenotypic impact of ampliconic Y chromosome regions

Archive ouverte | A. Lucotte, Elise | CCSD

International audience. A major part of the human Y chromosome consists of palindromes with multiple copies of genes primarily expressed in testis, many of which have been claimed to affect male fertility. We examin...

Evidence that the rate of strong selective sweeps increases with population size in the great apes

Archive ouverte | Nam, Ki Woong | CCSD

International audience. Quantifying the number of selective sweeps and their combined effects on genomic diversity in humans and other great apes is notoriously difficult. Here we address the question using a compar...
