In recent years there has been a significant growth in the development of technological innovations based on population genomic data, especially in the area of pharma/biotech industries. However, about 80% of the knowledge generated is based only on the genetic diversity of European populations. This lack of diversity in genomic databases leads to the loss of opportunities to make unprece…
There is consensus that the HLA genes (Human Leucocyte Antigen), which encode proteins essential for adaptive immune response, evolve under balancing selection regime - which increases the genetic diversity compared to the expected under neutrality. However, questions concerning the time scale of the action of natural selection and its effects on population differentiation remain controve…
