Summary
This study identifies highly constrained genes that fulfill essential, non-redundant functions in host survival and reveals others that are more permissive to change-containing variation acquired from archaic hominins or adaptive variants in specific populations-improving the understanding of the relative biological importance of innate immunity pathways in natural conditions.
