9.25 Homework

9.25.0.1 Learning Objectives

Interpret multiple statistics for measuring selection
Explain how specific statistics can give different results because they measure different genetic signatures

9.25.0.2 Assignment

Read this review paper on genomic evidence of human local adaptation by Fan et al. Find examples of local adaptation (genes and populations) in the paper, and look up the relevant populations (or related populations) and tests of selection in the PopHuman browser.

Are the signatures of selection apparent?
Are the signature apparent based on all statistics?
Why do certain statistics capture evidence of selection at certain loci but not others?
