Soft sweeps predominate recent positive selection in bonobos ( <i>Pan paniscus</i> ) and chimpanzees ( <i>Pan troglodytes</i> )

2020-12-14

Abstract excerpt

Two modes of positive selection have been recognized: 1) hard sweeps that result in the rapid fixation of a beneficial allele typically from a de novo mutation and 2) soft sweeps that are characterized by intermediate frequencies of at least two haplotypes that stem from standing genetic variation or recurrent de novo mutations. While many populations exhibit both hard and soft sweeps throughout the genome, ther...
