Hitchhiking under positive Darwinian selection.
Positive selection can be inferred from its effect on linked neutral variation. In the restrictive case when there is no recombination, all linked variation is removed. If recombination is present but rare, both deterministic and stochastic models of positive selection show that linked variation hitchhikes to either low or high frequencies. While the frequency distribution of variation can be i...
متن کاملCompound tests for the detection of hitchhiking under positive selection.
Many statistical tests have been developed for detecting positive selection. Most of these tests draw conclusions based on significant deviations from the patterns of polymorphism predicted by the neutral model. However, many non-equilibrium forces may cause similar deviations, and thus the tests usually have low statistical specificity to positive selection. The main challenge is hence to cons...
متن کاملGenetic Hitchhiking under Heterogeneous Spatial Selection Pressures
During adaptive evolutionary processes substantial heterogeneity in selective pressure might act across local habitats in sympatry. Examples are selection for drug resistance in malaria or herbicide resistance in weeds. In such setups standard population-genetic assumptions (homogeneous constant selection pressures, random mating etc.) are likely to be violated. To avoid misinferences on the st...
متن کاملA test for positive Darwinian selection
The neutral theory of molecular evolution maintains that most sequence variation among genomes has no direct relevance to adaptation [1]. The rapidly-growing amount of genomic data makes it possible now to ask which proteins are undergoing adaptive evolution. This, in turn calls for better computational tools to detect positive selection. In this study, we present a new test for detecting posit...
متن کاملPositive Darwinian Selection in Gene Evolution
When Charles Darwin proposed the theory of evolution by natural selection, he was concerned with phenotypic evolution. Because all phenotypes have their genetic basis, natural selection indirectly acts on genotypes through its action on phenotypes. In this article, I review the roles of positive Darwinian selection in the evolution of genes, focusing on the work conducted in my laboratory in th...
