Identifying the Favored Mutation in a Positive Selective Sweep

Methods to identify signatures of selective sweeps in population genomics data have been actively developed, but mostly do not identify the specific mutation favored by selection. We present a method, iSAFE, that uses a statistic derived solely from population genetics signals to accurately pinpoint...

description Methods to identify signatures of selective sweeps in population genomics data have been actively developed, but mostly do not identify the specific mutation favored by selection. We present a method, iSAFE, that uses a statistic derived solely from population genetics signals to accurately pinpoint the favored mutation in a large region (~5 Mbp). iSAFE does not require any knowledge of demography, specific phenotype under selection, or functional annotations of mutations.
