Genome scans for the contemporary response to selection in quantitative traits.

Abstract excerpt

Genome scans have been an important approach for discovering historical signatures of selection in both model and nonmodel species. An exciting new experimental design for genome scans is to measure the change in allele frequency before and after contemporary selection within a generation, from a single population.
