Application of a novel haplotype-based scan for local adaptation to study high-altitude adaptation in rhesus macaques

Abstract excerpt

When natural populations split and migrate to different environments, they may experience different selection pressures that can lead to local adaptation. To capture the genomic patterns of a local selective sweep, we develop XP-nSL, a genomic scan for local adaptation that compares haplotype patterns between two populations. We show that XP-nSL has power to detect ongoing and recently completed hard and soft...
