Abstract excerpt
Identifying the action of natural selection from patterns of standing genetic variation has long been of interest to the population genetic community. Thanks to the availability of large single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data sets for many species and of high-throughput SNP genotyping methods, whole-genomic surveys to detect selective sweeps are now possible. Knowing the ancestral allele increases the power to...
