Clinical Implications of Human Population Differences in Genome-wide Rates of Functional Genotypes by Ali eTorkamani, Phillip ePham, Ondrej eLibiger, Vikas eBansal, Guangfa eZhang, Ashley A Scott-Van Zeeland, Ryan eTewhey, Eric J. Topol, Nicholas eSchork

“…We also found that the rates of functional genotypes per the total number of genotypes in individual whole genomes differ dramatically between human populations. We then created tables showing how the use of comparator or reference genome panels comprised of genomes from individuals that do not have the same ancestral background as a patient can negatively impact pathogenic variant identification. …”

Pathogen diversity drives the evolution of generalist MHC-II alleles in human populations. by Máté Manczinger, Gábor Boross, Lajos Kemény, Viktor Müller, Tobias L Lenz, Balázs Papp, Csaba Pál

“…Third, molecular positions that define promiscuity level of MHC class II molecules are especially diverse and are under positive selection in human populations. Taken together, our work indicates that pathogen load maintains generalist adaptive immune recognition, with implications for medical genetics and epidemiology.…”

The interplay between human population dynamics and flooding in Bangladesh: a spatial analysis by G. di Baldassarre, K. Yan, MD. R. Ferdous, L. Brandimarte

“…In Bangladesh, socio-economic and hydrological processes are both extremely dynamic and inter-related. Human population patterns are often explained as a response, or adaptation strategy, to physical events, e.g. flooding, salt-water intrusion, and erosion. …”

“…</p> <p>Conclusions</p> <p>Our results show that the SARS-CoV is well adapted to growth in culture and did not appear to undergo specific selection in human populations. We further assessed that the putative origin of the SARS epidemic was in late October 2002 which is consistent with a recent estimate using cases from China. …”
