Detecting selection with a genetic cross.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 8 Sept 2020

Fraser Hunter B

Abstract excerpt

Distinguishing which traits have evolved under natural selection, as opposed to neutral evolution, is a major goal of evolutionary biology. Several tests have been proposed to accomplish this, but these either rely on false assumptions or suffer from low power. Here, I introduce an approach to detecting selection that makes minimal assumptions and only requires phenotypic data from ∼10 individuals. The test...
