Detection of Hard and Soft Sweeps from Population Genomic Data

Explore the detection of hard and soft sweeps in population genomic data through this informative conference talk by Nandita Garud at the Computational Genomics Summer Institute (CGSI2023). Delve into the concepts of hard and soft sweeps, focusing on Drosophila as a model organism. Examine the results and analysis, including the H2 divided by H1 statistic, and discover how adaptation is often a gradual process. Learn about the simulations used to support the findings and gain insights into the conclusions drawn from this research.
