Sharing of weak signals of positive selection across the genome

Show abstract
Selection in humans often leaves subtle signatures at individual loci. Few studies have measured the extent to which these signals are shared among human populations. Here a new method is developed to compare weak signals of selection in aggregate across the genome using the 1000 Genomes Phase 3 Data. Results presented here show that selection producing weak selection serves to increase population differences around coding areas of the genome.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
