Haplotype-Based Models Improve Sweep Detection in Ancient Populations with Complex Demography

2026-05-11

Abstract excerpt

Identifying signatures of positive selection in humans is complicated by demographic processes such as bottlenecks, migration and admixture, all of which can distort or obscure the genomic patterns produced by selective sweeps. Ancient DNA offers a direct window into past allele and haplotype frequencies, yet most sweep scans in ancient populations rely on allele-frequency or site frequency spectrum (SFS) summarie...
