The identification of genomic regions and genes that have evolved under natural selection is a fundamental objective in the field of evolutionary genetics. While various approaches have …
Recent studies of cosmopolitan Drosophila populations have found hundreds to thousands of genetic loci with seasonally fluctuating allele frequencies, bringing temporally fluctuating …
A key question in biology is why genomic variation persists in a population for extended periods. Recent studies have identified examples of genomic deletions that have remained …
The role of balancing selection in maintaining genetic variation remains an open question in population genetics. Recent years have seen numerous studies identifying candidate loci …

What past selection pressures have shaped human traits and their variation and covariation across individuals? These are key questions in the evolutionary social sciences. Recent …
The patterns of genetic variation within and between related taxa represent the genetic history of a species. Shared polymorphisms, loci with identical alleles across species, are of …
A classic population genetic prediction is that alleles experiencing directional selection should swiftly traverse allele frequency space, leaving detectable reductions in genetic …
