Effects of Gene Action, Marker Density, and Timing of Selection on the Performance of Landscape Genomic Scans of Local Adaptation.

Abstract excerpt

Genomic "scans" to identify loci that contribute to local adaptation are becoming increasingly common. Many methods used for such studies have assumed that local adaptation is created by loci experiencing antagonistic pleiotropy (AP) and that the selected locus itself is assayed, and few consider how signals of selection change through time. However, most empirical data sets have marker density too low to assume...
