Modelling the spatiotemporal spread of beneficial alleles using ancient genomes

2021-07-22

Abstract excerpt

Ancient genome sequencing technologies now provide the opportunity to study natural selection in unprecedented detail. Rather than making inferences from indirect footprints left by selection in present-day genomes, we can directly observe whether a given allele was present or absent in a particular region of the world at almost any period of human history within the last 10,000 years. Methods for studying selecti...
