DOI: 10.1038/s41467-018-03274-0
Abstract: Understanding natural selection is crucial to unveiling evolution of modern humans. Here, we report natural selection signatures in the Japanese population using 2234 high-depth whole-genome sequence (WGS) data (25.9×). Using rare singletons, we identify signals… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-86154-w
Abstract: Animal domestication and artificial selection give rise to gradual changes at the genomic level in populations. Subsequent footprints of selection, known as selection signatures or selective sweeps, have been traced in the genomes of many… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2022.1857
Abstract: Experimental evolution combined with whole-genome sequencing (evolve and resequence (E&R)) is a powerful approach to study the adaptive architecture of selected traits. Nevertheless, so far the focus has been on the selective response triggered by… read more here.
