For billions of years, mutations in genomes have been subjected to the process of natural selection, which have left evolutionary imprints in our genomes. I will discuss insights from our investigations aimed at understanding and predicting genotype-phenotype relationships through an analysis of human genome variation implicated in Mendelian, cancer, and other complex diseases
