Judging the importance of human mutations using evolutionary models

Many forces influence the fate of alleles in populations, and the detailed quantitative description of the allelic dynamics is complex. However, some applications allow for simplifications making the evolutionary models useful in the context of human genetics. The examples include comparative genomics and the analysis of large scale sequencing datasets.
