WINDEX: A hierarchical integration of site- and window-based statistics for characterizing the footprint of positive selection in genome-wide population genetic data

Hannah Snell, Scott McCallum, Dhruv Raghavan…·Lauren A. Sugden

WINDEX improves detection of positive selective sweeps by integrating site- and window-based statistics in population genetic data, showing improved localization and genome-wide estimates of selective pressures.
