A Population Genetic Signal of Polygenic Adaptation
Adaptation in response to selection on polygenic phenotypes may occur via subtle allele frequencies shifts at many loci. Current population genomic techniques are not well posed to identify such signals. In the past decade, detailed knowledge about the specific loci underlying polygenic traits has begun to emerge from genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Here we combine this knowledge from G...

Adaptation in response to selection on polygenic phenotypes occurs via subtle allele frequencies shifts at many loci. Current population genomic techniques are not well posed to identify such signals.

متن کاملGenetic basis of polygenic hypertension.
Essential hypertension is a common disorder that leads to significant morbidity and mortality; however, the underlying mechanisms have remained elusive. Recent animal model studies have uncovered a complex genetic architecture of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for blood pressure (BP), intricate QTL-QTL interactions and powerful genome regulations that underlie polygenic hypertension. BP, a quan...
متن کاملPolygenic traits and parasite local adaptation.
The extent to which parasites are locally adapted to their hosts has important implications for human health and agriculture. A recently developed conceptual framework--the geographic mosaic theory of coevolution--predicts that local maladaptation should be common and largely determined by the interplay between gene flow and spatially variable reciprocal selection. Previous investigation of thi...
متن کاملDetecting Polygenic Adaptation in Admixture Graphs.
An open question in human evolution is the importance of polygenic adaptation: adaptive changes in the mean of a multifactorial trait due to shifts in allele frequencies across many loci. In recent years, several methods have been developed to detect polygenic adaptation using loci identified in genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Though powerful, these methods suffer from limited interpret...
