Investigating the evolutionary history of genetic variations to explain biological diversity and disease in modern and ancient human populations.
New paper with @spit-lab.bsky.social @genomebiolevol.bsky.social - Bottom-line: genes that encode secreted saliva genes evolve pretty fast and gene duplications/deletions are mostly the culprit. academic.oup.com/gbe/advance-...

the sex- and diet-dependent effects of an ancient deletion (>Neanderthal–human divergence) in the 3rd conserved exon of GHR (GHRd3). growth, resistance to hunger, and metabolism.
