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