Abstract:
We propose a collaborative and integrative approach to identify and characterize selective signatures indicative of host-pathogen evolutionary conflict in diverse human and great ape populations and species. The Sudmant lab has extensive expertise in genomics and genetics and the Etienne Lab is expert in virus-host interaction and coevolution. Thus, collaboratively our groups are uniquely poised to address the critical scientific questions surrounding the adaptation of great apes to viral infection.
