Characterising the detectable and invisible fractions of genomic loci under balancing selection

2026-01-13

Abstract excerpt

Balancing selection refers to scenarios where selection maintains genetic polymorphisms affecting fitness and its components. Empirical studies have documented specific cases of balancing selection, yet the general prevalence of balanced polymorphisms within genomes remains a topic of longstanding debate. Although genome-wide scans for signals of balancing selection suggest that it is rare, current methods are not...
