Abstract excerpt
Failing to correct for multiple testing in selection scans can lead to false discoveries of recent genetic adaptations. The scanning statistics in selection studies are often too complicated to theoretically derive a genome-wide significance level or empirically validate control of the family-wise error rate (FWER). By modeling the autocorrelation of identity-by-descent (IBD) rates, we propose a computationally...
