Tissue- and Time-Specific Expression of Otherwise Identical tRNA Genes.

abstract：:Many diseases are differentially distributed among human populations. Differential selection on genetic variants in ancestral environments that coincidentally predispose to disease can be an underlying cause of these unequal prevalence patterns. Selected genes may be pleiotropic, affecting multiple phenotypes and resu...
