A Population Genetic Signal of Polygenic Adaptation
Jeremy J. Berg,Graham Coop +1 more
TL;DR: This analysis uncovers a number of putative signals of local adaptation, and develops methods for detecting unusually strong correlations between genetic values and specific environmental variables, as well as a generalization of comparisons to test for over-dispersion of genetic values among populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reduced signal for polygenic adaptation of height in UK Biobank.
Jeremy J. Berg,Arbel Harpak,Arbel Harpak,Nasa Sinnott-Armstrong,Anja Moltke Joergensen,Hakhamanesh Mostafavi,Yair Field,Evan A. Boyle,Xinjun Zhang,Fernando Racimo,Jonathan K. Pritchard,Graham Coop +11 more
TL;DR: A new analysis based on the the UK Biobank, a large, independent dataset, finds that the signals of selection using UKB effect estimates are strongly attenuated or absent and the conclusion of strong polygenic adaptation now lacks support.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detecting Polygenic Adaptation in Admixture Graphs
TL;DR: A method to detect polygenic adaptation in an admixture graph, which is a representation of the historical divergences and admixture events relating different populations through time, and developed a Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm to infer branch-specific parameters reflecting the strength of selection in each branch of a graph.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measuring intolerance to mutation in human genetics
TL;DR: How best to interpret pLI, a measure widely used to identify genes that are intolerant to a single copy of a truncating mutation, is discussed, by relating this and related measures to the underlying population-genetic theory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Parallel altitudinal clines reveal trends in adaptive evolution of genome size in Zea mays.
Paul Bilinski,Paul Bilinski,Patrice S. Albert,Jeremy J. Berg,James A. Birchler,Mark N. Grote,Anne Lorant,Juvenal Quezada,Kelly Swarts,Jinliang Yang,Jinliang Yang,Jeffrey Ross-Ibarra +11 more
TL;DR: A model in which variation in genome size is driven by natural selection on flowering time across altitudinal clines is suggested, connecting intraspecific variation in repetitive sequence to important differences in adaptive phenotypes.
