Genetic surfing in human populations: from genes to genomes.

Current opinion in genetics & development - 1 Dec 2016

Peischl Stephan, Dupanloup Isabelle, Bosshard Lars, Excoffier Laurent

Abstract excerpt

Genetic surfing describes the spatial spread and increase in frequency of variants that are not lost by genetic drift and serial migrant sampling during a range expansion. Genetic surfing does not modify the total number of derived alleles in a population or in an individual genome, but it leads to a loss of heterozygosity along the expansion axis, implying that derived alleles are more often in homozygous state....
