Abstract excerpt
SUMMARY: Statistical methods that measure the extent of haplotype homozygosity on chromosomes have been highly informative for identifying episodes of recent selection. For example, the integrated haplotype score (iHS) and the extended haplotype homozygosity (EHH) statistics detect long-range haplotype structure around derived and ancestral alleles indicative of classic and soft selective sweeps, respectively....
