Genetic architecture and selective sweeps after polygenic adaptation to distant trait optima
M. G. Stetter, K. Thornton, J. Ross-Ibarra
This study uses simulations and machine learning to analyze how genetic architecture and selective sweeps change during polygenic adaptation to new trait optima, showing that sweeps occur even under weak selection and that demography and mutation effects are key factors.
