Posted By: The American Journal of Human Genetics, AJHG AJHG: What motivated you to start working on this project? ST: Previously, we proposed a haplotype-based scan for recent selection and validated the results in real data using known selected loci in European ancestry groups. We aimed to broaden our scope to more ancestry groups that are often underrepresented in human genetics studies. This objective required us to... Read More
