• A systematic, large-scale resequencing screen of X-chromosome coding exons in mental retardation (2009, background): “The results highlighted ZFX ( P ¼ 0.0014) and G6PD ( P ¼ 0.008), both of which have previously been identified as strong candidates for recent positive selection 25,26 .”
• Genetic Polymorphism in Heterogeneous Environments: The Age of Genomics (2006, background): “Malaria kills more than one million children each year in Africa alone and is the strongest selective pressure in recent human history (Kwiatkowski 2005).”
• Malaria: progress, perils, and prospects for eradication. (2008, positive): “Genetic factors are important (28), and both the age of the patient and the intensity of transmission in the community influence susceptibility to cerebral malaria and severe anemia (29).”
