Selective Sweeps [PDF]

open access: yesGenetics, 2019
AbstractFor almost 20 years, many inference methods have been developed to detect selective sweeps and localize the targets of directional selection in the genome. These methods are based on population genetic models that describe the effect of a beneficial allele (e.g., a new mutation) on linked neutral variation (driven by directional selection from ...

Landmarks in the history of selective sweeps

Animal Genetics, 2023
AbstractHalf a century ago, a seminal article on the hitchhiking effect by Smith and Haigh inaugurated the concept of the selection signature. Selective sweeps are characterised by the rapid spread of an advantageous genetic variant through a population and hence play an important role in shaping evolution and research on genetic diversity. The process

Selective sweeping

Software: Practice and Experience, 2005
Traditional mark and sweep garbage collectors use time proportional to the heap size when sweeping memory, since all objects in the heap, dead or alive, must be traversed. Here we introduce a sweeping algorithm which traverses only the live objects. Since this sweeping algorithm is slower when the heap occupancy is high, we also discuss how to avoid ...

Approximating selective sweeps

Theoretical Population Biology, 2004
The fixation of advantageous mutations in a population has the effect of reducing variation in the DNA sequence near that mutation. Kaplan et al. (1989) used a three-phase simulation model to study the effect of selective sweeps on genealogies. However, most subsequent work has simplified their approach by assuming that the number of individuals with ...

Identification of selective sweeps in bacteria

2023
Abstract Selective sweeps occur when a beneficial mutation spreads rapidly throughout the population due to natural selection. Searching for selective sweeps has proved to be one of the most fruitful ways to detect the footprints selection leaves on the genome.
