An investigation of the statistical power of neutrality tests based on comparative and population genetic data.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Feb 2009

Zhai Weiwei, Nielsen Rasmus, Slatkin Montgomery

Abstract excerpt

In this report, we investigate the statistical power of several tests of selective neutrality based on patterns of genetic diversity within and between species. The goal is to compare tests based solely on population genetic data with tests using comparative data or a combination of comparative a...
