Exploiting selection at linked sites to infer the rate and strength of adaptation

2018-09-26

Abstract excerpt

Genomic data encodes past evolutionary events and has the potential to reveal the strength, rate, and biological drivers of adaptation. However, robust estimation of adaptation rate ( α ) and adaptation strength remains a challenging problem because evolutionary processes such as demography, linkage, and non-neutral polymorphism can confound inference. Here, we exploit the influence of background selection to red...
