Selective Sweeps across Twenty Millions Years of Primate Evolution.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Dec 2016

Munch Kasper, Nam Kiwoong, Schierup Mikkel Heide, Mailund Thomas

Abstract excerpt

The contribution from selective sweeps to variation in genetic diversity has proven notoriously difficult to assess, in part because polymorphism data only allows detection of sweeps in the most recent few hundred thousand years. Here, we show how linked selection in ancestral species can be quantified across evolutionary timescales by analyzing patterns of incomplete lineage sorting (ILS) along the genomes of...
