As population genomic datasets grow in size, researchers are faced with the daunting task
of making sense of a flood of information. To keep pace with this explosion of data …

Patterns of variation and evolution at a given site in a genome can be strongly influenced by
the effects of selection at genetically linked sites. In particular, the recombination rates of …

The spread of modern humans across the globe has led to genetic adaptations to diverse
local environments. Recent developments in genomic technologies, statistical analyses, and …

Given genomic variation data from multiple individuals, computing the likelihood of complex
population genetic models is often infeasible. To circumvent this problem, we introduce a …

Population-scale genomic data sets have given researchers incredible amounts of
information from which to infer evolutionary histories. Concomitant with this flood of data …

Estimating the rate of exchange of individuals among populations is a central concern to
evolutionary ecology and its applications to conservation and management. For instance …

The tempo and mode of adaptive evolution determine how natural selection shapes patterns
of genetic diversity in DNA polymorphism data. While slow mutation‐limited adaptation …

The degree to which adaptation in recent human evolution shapes genetic variation remains
controversial. This is in part due to the limited evidence in humans for classic “hard selective …

Detecting the targets of adaptive natural selection from whole genome sequencing data is a
central problem for population genetics. However, to date most methods have shown sub …

Accurately inferring the genome-wide landscape of recombination rates in natural
populations is a central aim in genomics, as patterns of linkage influence everything from …
