Here we leverage the UK Biobank data to test for the presence of linear and nonlinear natural selection in a contemporary population of the United Kingdom. We obtain phenotypic and genetic evidence consistent with the action of linear/directional selection. Phenotypic evidence suggests that stabilizing selection, which acts to reduce variance in the population without necessarily modifying the population mean, is widespread and relatively weak in comparison with estimates from other species.","lang":"eng"}],"_id":"7724","author":[{"full_name":"Sanjak, Jaleal S.","first_name":"Jaleal S.","last_name":"Sanjak"},{"full_name":"Sidorenko, Julia","first_name":"Julia","last_name":"Sidorenko"},{"first_name":"Matthew Richard","full_name":"Robinson, Matthew Richard","orcid":"0000-0001-8982-8813","last_name":"Robinson","id":"E5D42276-F5DA-11E9-8E24-6303E6697425"},{"full_name":"Thornton, Kevin R.","first_name":"Kevin R.","last_name":"Thornton"},{"first_name":"Peter M.","full_name":"Visscher, Peter M.","last_name":"Visscher"}],"doi":"10.1073/pnas.1707227114","quality_controlled":"1","title":"Evidence of directional and stabilizing selection in contemporary humans","related_material":{"link":[{"url":"https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1806837115","relation":"erratum"}]},"publication_identifier":{"issn":["0027-8424","1091-6490"]},"intvolume":"       115","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"date_updated":"2021-01-12T08:15:07Z","volume":115,"extern":"1","type":"journal_article","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","date_published":"2018-01-02T00:00:00Z","article_type":"original","year":"2018","publisher":"Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences","status":"public","page":"151-156","day":"02","citation":{"chicago":"Sanjak, Jaleal S., Julia Sidorenko, Matthew Richard Robinson, Kevin R.
