Detecting recent selective sweeps while controlling for mutation rate and background selection
A composite likelihood ratio test implemented in the program sweepfinder is a commonly used method for scanning a genome for recent selective sweeps. sweepfinder uses information on the spatial pattern (along the chromosome) of the site frequency spectrum around the selected locus. To avoid confounding effects of background selection and variation in the mutation process along the genome, the m...
متن کاملDetecting outliers in multivariate data while controlling false alarm rate
Outlier identification often implies inspecting each z-transformed variable and adding a Mahalanobis D2. Multiple outliers may mask each other by increasing variance estimates. Caroni & Prescott (1992) proposed a multivariate extension of Rosner’s (1983) technique to circumvent masking, taking sample size into account to keep the false alarm risk below, say, α = .05. Simulations studies here co...
متن کاملOn Detecting Selective Sweeps Using Single Genomes
Identifying the genetic basis of human adaptation has remained a central focal point of modern population genetics. One major area of interest has been the use of polymorphism data to detect so-called "footprints" of selective sweeps - patterns produced as a beneficial mutation arises and rapidly fixes in the population. Based on numerous simulation studies and power analyses, the necessary sam...
متن کاملDetecting bottlenecks and selective sweeps from DNA sequence polymorphism.
A coalescence-based maximum-likelihood method is presented that aims to (i) detect diversity-reducing events in the recent history of a population and (ii) distinguish between demographic (e.g., bottlenecks) and selective causes (selective sweep) of a recent reduction of genetic variability. The former goal is achieved by taking account of the distortion in the shape of gene genealogies generat...
متن کاملDetecting Differentially Expressed Genes While Controlling the False Discovery Rate for Microarray Data
Microarray is an important technology which enables people to investigate the expression levels of thousands of genes at the same time. One common goal of microarray data analysis is to detect differentially expressed genes while controlling the false discovery rate. This dis-sertation consists with four papers written to address this goal. The dissertation is organized as follows: In Chapter 1...
