Landscape genomics is an emerging research field that aims to identify the environmental
factors that shape adaptive genetic variation and the gene variants that drive local …

The analysis of polymorphism data is becoming increasingly important as a complementary
tool to classical genetic analyses. Nevertheless, despite plunging sequencing costs …

Based on population genomic and environmental data, genomewide ecological association
studies aim at detecting allele frequencies that exhibit significant statistical association with …

In population genomics studies, accounting for the neutral covariance structure across
population allele frequencies is critical to improve the robustness of genome-wide scan …

The past fifty years have seen the development and application of numerous statistical
methods to identify genomic regions that appear to be shaped by natural selection. These …

Comparing allele frequencies among populations that differ in environment has long been a
tool for detecting loci involved in local adaptation. However, such analyses are complicated …

Adaptation to local environments often occurs through natural selection acting on a large
number of loci, each having a weak phenotypic effect. One way to detect these loci is to …

Researchers from diverse backgrounds are converging on the view that human evolution
has been shaped by gene–culture interactions. Theoretical biologists have used population …

There has long been interest in understanding the genetic basis of human adaptation. To
what extent are phenotypic differences among human populations driven by natural …

Previous genome-wide scans of positive natural selection in humans have identified a
number of non-neutrally evolving genes that play important roles in skin pigmentation …
