Overview
TheCCR5-Δ32allele provides some of the most fascinating stories of theCCR5gene. It has become a focal point in the debate about allele frequencies and natural selection. Could those who are immune to AIDS have ancestors who were immune to the bubonic plague, smallpox, or staphylococcus infection? How can historians collaborate with population geneticists and demographers to provide a richer history of medicine and biology and a clearer picture of the forces of natural selection? A history of theCCR5-Δ32allele is informative because it typifies how molecular biologists, population geneticists, biomedical researchers, and evolutionary biologists study alleles
