Evolution of a genomic regulatory domain: the role of gene co-option and gene duplication in the Enhancer of split complex.

abstract：:In comparison to genotypes, knowledge about haplotypes (the combination of alleles present on a single chromosome) is much more useful for whole-genome association studies and for making inferences about human evolutionary history. Haplotypes are typically inferred from population genotype data using computational met...
