Detecting adaptive changes in gene copy number distribution accompanying the human out-of-Africa expansion

Abstract Genes with multiple copies are likely to be maintained by stabilizing selection, which puts a bound to unlimited expansion of copy number. We designed a model in which copy number variation is generated by unequal recombination, which fits well with several genes surveyed in three human pop...
