Identifying outlier loci in admixed and in continuous populations using ancestral population differentiation statistics

2016-05-21

Abstract excerpt

Finding genetic signatures of local adaptation is of great interest for many population genetic studies. Common approaches to sorting selective loci from their genomic background focus on the extreme values of the fixation index, F ST , across loci. However, the computation of the fixation index becomes challenging when the population is genetically continuous, when predefining subpopulations is a difficult task,...
