Genomic features that predict allelic imbalance in humans suggest patterns of constraint on gene expression variationJenny Tung
Department of Biology, Duke University, Durham, NC, USA
Mol Biol Evol 26:2047-59. 2009..These results suggest that the genomic distribution of functional cis-regulatory variants in the human genome is nonrandom, perhaps due to local differences in evolutionary constraint...

Department of Biology, Duke University, PO Box 90338, Durham, NC 27708, USA
Mol Ecol 17:2026-40. 2008..Our results indicate that a complex combination of demographic, genetic, environmental, and maternal effects contribute to variation in the timing of these life-history milestones...
