Evolutionary analysis of mammalian genomes and associations to human disease

Statistical models of DNA sequence evolution for analysing protein-coding genes can be used to estimate rates of molecular evolution and to detect signals of natural selection. Genes that have undergone positive selection during evolution are indicative of functional adaptations that drive species d...
