Detecting Selection in Multiple Populations by Modeling Ancestral Admixture Components.

Abstract excerpt

One of the most powerful and commonly used approaches for detecting local adaptation in the genome is the identification of extreme allele frequency differences between populations. In this article, we present a new maximum likelihood method for finding regions under positive selection. It is based on a Gaussian approximation to allele frequency changes and it incorporates admixture between populations. The...
