Reconstruction of the human amylase locus reveals ancient duplications seeding modern-day variation
Previous studies suggested that the copy number of the human salivary amylase gene, AMY1, correlates with starch-rich diets. However, evolutionary analyses are hampered by the absence of accurate, seq...
