  1. ...be explained by variation in recombination rate and the density of targets for selection. We thus conclude that the heterogeneous landscape of differentiation in Ficedula flycatchers evolves mainly as the result of background selection and selective sweeps in genomic regions of low recombination. Our results...
  2. ...functional regions does not appear to be substantially different than the genomic background, nor are these regions enriched for alleles that segregate among populations (Hernandez et al. 2011). These observations suggest that classic selective sweeps for adaptive alleles may not be frequent in human...
  3. ...-specific phenotypes. In this study, we test the assumptions of the selective sweep approach in dogs by using simulations and empirical marker surveys. First, we simulate the process of breed formation and assess the probability that in a moderate-density genomic scan, a single marker or two or three adjacent markers...
  4. ..., until recently, been frustratingly slow, relying on the analysis of individual candidate genes. Genomics, however, has provided the necessary resources to systematically interrogate the entire genome for signatures of natural selection. To date, 21 genome-wide scans for recent or ongoing positive...
  5. ...of the observed correlation, particularly in the EA sample, implies that the Perlegen data is suitable for identifying candidate selection genes based on the empirical distribution of TDGen. Genome-wide analysis of the site frequency spectrum We pursed a gene-centric -wide scan for positive selection...
  6. ...,000 or 150,000 yr ago. We also find that bidirectional asymmetric gene flow is statistically better supported than a single pulse of unidirectional gene flow from farmers to Pygmies, as previously suggested. We then applied complementary statistics to scan the genome for evidence of selective sweeps...
  7. ...Hughes Medical Institute, The University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois 60637, USA Abstract Genome-wide scans for recent positive selection in humans have yielded insight into the mechanisms underlying the extensive phenotypic diversity in our species, but have focused on a limited number...
  8. .... Recurrent selective sweeps associated with adaptive substitutions should leave a characteristic signature in genome variability data that contains information about the frequency and strength of selection. Here, I document a significant negative correlation between the level and the frequency of synonymous...
  9. ...of European individuals from the 1000 Genomes Project data, at Chr 2: 500,000. Coalescence times are estimated by taking posterior means, measured in years ago. Times were converted from generations to years using a generation time of 30 yr.We then performed a selection scan by looking for genomic regions...
  10. ...to confounding by the other. We illustrate here that even modest levels of positive selection can substantially reduce population-based recombination rate estimates. We also show that genome-wide scans to detect loci under recent selection in humans have tended to highlight loci in regions of low recombination...
