Identification of signatures of positive selection has long been a major issue for understanding the unique features of any given species. However, only a fraction of human genes have been interrogated. Genes within segmental duplications are usually omitted due to the limitations of draft genome assemblies and the methodological reliance on accurate gene trees. In this work, we show the feasibility of a new method that does not need accurate gene trees or individual high-quality assemblies. We applied the concept to study exon evolution in the human genome, identifying 74 exons with evidence for rapid coding sequence evolution during human and Old World monkey evolution. Our results suggest abundant accelerated coding sequence evol...
