Approximating genealogies for partially linked neutral loci under a selective sweep.

Abstract excerpt

Consider a genetic locus carrying a strongly beneficial allele which has recently fixed in a large population. As strongly beneficial alleles fix quickly, sequence diversity at partially linked neutral loci is reduced. This phenomenon is known as a selective sweep. The fixation of the beneficial allele not only affects sequence diversity at single neutral loci but also the joint allele distribution of several...
