Reply to Barton et al: signatures of natural selection during the Black Death

2023-04-07

Abstract excerpt

Barton et al . 1 raise several statistical concerns regarding our original analyses 2 that highlight the challenge of inferring natural selection using ancient genomic data. We show here that these concerns have limited impact on our original conclusions. Specifically, we recover the same signature of enrichment for high F ST values at the immune loci relative to putatively neutral sites after switching the al...
