An estimator of first coalescent time reveals selection on young variants and large heterogeneity in rare allele ages among human populations

Allele age has long been a focus of population genetic research, primarily because it can be an important clue to the fitness effects of an allele. By virtue of their effects on fitness, alleles under directional selection are expected to be younger than neutral alleles of the same frequency. We dev...
