Context dependence, ancestral misidentification, and spurious signatures of natural selection.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Aug 2007

Hernandez Ryan D, Williamson Scott H, Bustamante Carlos D

Abstract excerpt

Population genetic analyses often use polymorphism data from one species, and orthologous genomic sequences from closely related outgroup species. These outgroup sequences are frequently used to identify ancestral alleles at segregating sites and to compare the patterns of polymorphism and diverg...
