1148-High Amylase Gene Copy Number in Indigenous Andeans

This study identifies a rapid genetic adaptation in Indigenous Peruvian Andean populations linked to starch digestion. Researchers discovered that these populations possess the highest salivary amylase (AMY1) gene copy numbers globally, a trait that correlates with the historical domestication of potatoes approximately 10,000 years ago.
