Neanderthal-Denisovan ancestors interbred with a distantly related hominin

AR Rogers, NS Harris, AA Achenbach - Science advances, 2020 - science.org
Previous research has shown that modern Eurasians interbred with their Neanderthal and
Denisovan predecessors. We show here that hundreds of thousands of years earlier, the …

Genomic regions linked to soft sweeps approximate neutrality when inferring population history from site pattern frequencies

NS Harris, AR Rogers - bioRxiv, 2020 - biorxiv.org
Recent studies have suggested that selection is widespread throughout the genome and
largely uncompensated for in inferences of population history. To address this potential issue, …

Sharing of weak signals of positive selection across the genome

NS Harris, AR Rogers - bioRxiv, 2020 - biorxiv.org
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 …

Detecting shared independent selection

NS Harris, AR Rogers - bioRxiv, 2020 - biorxiv.org
Signals of selection are not often shared between populations. When a mutual signal is
detected, it is often not known if selection occurred before or after populations split. Here we …

Shared Selection and Population History

NS Harris - 2020 - search.proquest.com
Natural selection and population history both leave signatures in the genomes of populations.
Disentangling these effects is essential to their study. I approach this problem in three …

…, W Zhang, J Marten, I Gandin, SE Harris… - …, 2017 - Am Heart Assoc
Elevated blood pressure is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease and has a substantial
genetic contribution. Genetic variation influencing blood pressure has the potential to …

Extensive somatic L1 retrotransposition in colorectal tumors

…, T Doucet, HH Nelson, MB Burns, RS Harris… - Genome …, 2012 - genome.cshlp.org
L1 retrotransposons comprise 17% of the human genome and are its only autonomous mobile
elements. Although L1-induced insertional mutagenesis causes Mendelian disease, their …
