Abstract
Throughout our evolutionary history we have been subjected to persistent adaptive challenges that have left footprints on our genome. The UAB Bioinformatics of Genomic Diversity research group identified in 2019 multiple genomic regions that might be relevant to understanding human evolution. The study of their origin has given rise to the online resource PopHumanVar, in which functional and evolutionary genomics data for millions of genetic variants from different populations are collected, integrated and graphically represented. The application represents an advance in the study of human adaptation to different environments and cultural changes in the expansion around the planet.
