Abstract excerpt
Natural selection not only affects the actual loci under selection but also leaves "footprints" in patterns of genetic variation in linked genetic regions. This offers exciting opportunities for inferring selection and for understanding the processes shaping levels of genetic variation in natural populations. Here, we develop analytical approximations based on coalescent theory to characterize the genetic...
