An approximate bayesian estimator suggests strong, recurrent selective sweeps in Drosophila.

PLoS genetics - 19 Sept 2008

Jensen Jeffrey D, Thornton Kevin R, Andolfatto Peter

Abstract excerpt

The recurrent fixation of newly arising, beneficial mutations in a species reduces levels of linked neutral variability. Models positing frequent weakly beneficial substitutions or, alternatively, rare, strongly selected substitutions predict similar average effects on linked neutral variability,...
