Signatures of positive selection: from selective sweeps at individual loci to subtle allele frequency changes in polygenic adaptation.

Abstract excerpt

In the past 15 years, numerous methods have been developed to detect selective sweeps underlying adaptations. These methods are based on relatively simple population genetic models, including one or two loci at which positive directional selection occurs, and one or two marker loci at which the impact of selection on linked neutral variation is quantified. Information about the phenotype under selection is not...
