Multiple Instances of Ancient Balancing Selection Shared Between Humans and Chimpanzees
Open accessAbstract
Balancing Humans with Apes: Shared ancestral polymorphisms between species tend to be relatively rare, and studies of trans-species polymorphisms have focused on just a few regions known for balancing selection. Leffler et al. (p. 1578 , published online 14 February) performed genome-wide scans among humans and great apes and found shared polymorphisms between chimps and humans. Many of the identified variants seem to be associated with genes involved in pathogen response or defense, suggesting that this widespread balancing selection may reflect the ongoing arms race between pathogens and hosts.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
