Allele frequency distribution under recurrent selective sweeps.
The allele frequency of a neutral variant in a population is pushed either upward or downward by directional selection on a linked beneficial mutation ("selective sweeps"). DNA sequences sampled after the fixation of the beneficial allele thus contain an excess of rare neutral alleles. This study investigates the allele frequency distribution under selective sweep models using analytic approxim...
متن کاملIdentifying consistent allele frequency differences in studies of stratified populations
With increasing application of pooled-sequencing approaches to population genomics robust methods are needed to accurately quantify allele frequency differences between populations. Identifying consistent differences across stratified populations can allow us to detect genomic regions under selection and that differ between populations with different histories or attributes. Current popular sta...
متن کاملNon-equilibrium allele frequency spectra via spectral methods.
A major challenge in the analysis of population genomics data consists of isolating signatures of natural selection from background noise caused by random drift and gene flow. Analyses of massive amounts of data from many related populations require high-performance algorithms to determine the likelihood of different demographic scenarios that could have shaped the observed neutral single nucle...
متن کاملAsymptotics of the allele frequency spectrum associated with the Bolthausen-Sznitman coalescent
We imagine a coalescent process as modelling the genealogy of a sample from a population which is subject to neutral mutation. We work under the assumptions of the infinitely many alleles model so that, in particular, every mutation gives rise to a completely new type in the population. Mutations occur as a Poisson process of rate ρ along the branches of the coalescent tree. The allelic partiti...
متن کاملQuadri-allele frequency spectrum in a coalescent topology for mutations in non-constant population size
The sample frequency spectrum of a segregating site is the probability distribution of a sample of alleles from a genetic locus, conditional on observing the sample to have more than one clearly different phenotypes. We present a model for analyzing quadri-allele frequency spectrum, where the ancestral population diverged into three populations at a certain divergence time and the resulting mut...
