Genomic dissection of population substructure of Han Chinese and its implication in association studies.
To date, most genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and studies of fine-scale population structure have been conducted primarily on Europeans. Han Chinese, the largest ethnic group in the world,… Expand

Modeling Recent Human Evolution in Mice by Expression of a Selected EDAR Variant
An adaptive variant of the human Ectodysplasin receptor, EDARV370A, is one of the strongest candidates of recent positive selection from genome-wide scans. We have modeled EDAR370A in mice and… Expand
