Detecting loci under selection in a hierarchically structured population.

Heredity - 1 Oct 2009

Excoffier L, Hofer T, Foll M

Abstract excerpt

Patterns of genetic diversity between populations are often used to detect loci under selection in genome scans. Indeed, loci involved in local adaptations should show high F(ST) values, whereas loci under balancing selection should rather show low F(ST) values. Most tests of selection based on F(ST) use a null distribution generated under a simple island model of population differentiation. Although this model...
