ScienceNow reports just in time for the Dover decision that over 1800 genes in humans appear to have been recently modified by natural selection.

Now a team of scientists at the University of California, Irvine, has used a new computational approach--the "linkage disequilibrium decay" test--to search for signs of selection over the entire human genome. As a rule, the greater the linkage disequilibrium associated with a gene, the more likely that the gene has been under recent selection. Harnessing data from two existing databases of human diversity, the team found some 1800 genes that appeared to have been under selection during the last 10,000 to 50,000 years. According to team leader and genome researcher Robert Moyzis, this is between 10 and 100 times greater than the number found in previous studies (Science, 8 July, p. 234).

Somehow I don't think the Discovery Institute claims in the wake of the Dover decision that intelligent design science will blow evolution out of the water are of much concern. There still are no peer-reviewed research articles supporting ID after 15 years, despite what the Discovery Institute claims. All the papers on their list of so-called publications are either in non-peer reviewed journals, or are abstracts they've snuck into conferences as we've discussed for the past day or so. Overall, no real papers, like all us real scientists have to write and get reviewed.
