Assessing human variation data for signatures of natural selection.

Abstract excerpt

In this article, we highlight some of the different types of natural selection, their effects on patterns of DNA variation, and some of the statistical tests that are commonly used to detect such effects. We also explain some of the relative strengths and weaknesses of different strategies that can be used to detect signatures of natural selection at individual loci. These strategies are illustrated by their...
