A Coalescent Model of a Sweep from a Uniquely Derived Standing Variant

This paper analyzes a coalescent model of adaptation from a uniquely derived standing variant, showing it is hard to detect and distinguish from other sweep models using genetic polymorphism data.

A Population Genetic Signature of Polygenic Local Adaptation

The paper develops population genetic tests to detect polygenic local adaptation using GWAS data and applies them to the human genome diversity panel to identify putative adaptation signals.
