Detecting selection with a genetic cross

2020-08-03

Abstract excerpt

Distinguishing which traits have evolved under natural selection, as opposed to neutral evolution, is a major goal of evolutionary biology. Several tests have been proposed to accomplish this, but these either rely on false assumptions or suffer from low power. Here, I introduce a new approach to detecting lineage-specific selection that makes minimal assumptions and only requires phenotypic data from ∼10 individu...
