1.
Vasseur E, Quintana-Murci L
Evol Appl . 2013 Jun; 6(4):596-607. PMID: 23789027
Investigations of the legacy of natural selection in the human genome have proved particularly informative, pinpointing functionally important regions that have participated in our genetic adaptation to the environment. Furthermore,...

Vasseur E, Boniotto M, Patin E, Laval G, Quach H, Manry J, et al.
Am J Hum Genet . 2012 Jul; 91(1):27-37. PMID: 22748209
Host-pathogen interactions are generally initiated by host recognition of microbial components or danger signals triggered by microbial invasion. This recognition involves germline-encoded microbial sensors or pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs). By studying...

Vasseur E, Patin E, Laval G, Pajon S, Fornarino S, Crouau-Roy B, et al.
Hum Mol Genet . 2011 Aug; 20(22):4462-74. PMID: 21865300
The RIG-I-like receptors (RLRs)--RIG-I, IFIH1 (or MDA5) and LGP2--are thought to be key actors in the innate immune system, as they play a major role in sensing RNA viruses in...

Fornarino S, Laval G, Barreiro L, Manry J, Vasseur E, Quintana-Murci L
Mol Biol Evol . 2011 Jun; 28(11):3087-97. PMID: 21659570
Natural selection is expected to act strongly on immune system genes as hosts adapt to novel, diverse, and coevolving pathogens. Population genetic studies of host defense genes with parallel functions...
