Assessing the evolutionary impact of amino acid mutations in the human genome.

Assessing the evolutionary impact of amino acid mutations in the human genome.

Quantifying the distribution of fitness effects among newly arising mutations in the human genome is key to resolving important debates in medical and evolutionary genetics. Here, we present a method for inferring this distribution using Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) data from a population wi...
