Quantitative genetic and natural selection: 2018-2020 studies
www.emilkirkegaard.com
There are many studies that look at signs for selection using large genomic datasets. This post provides a selective summary of such studies from 2018 to now, so very recent progress. There are in general two ways to approach the question of selection. First, one can look at known variants for traits found via GWASs, and look for evidence of selection. Second, one can look at all variants in the genome and look for evidence of selection, and among those found, try to determine which traits they relate to, either by comparing with GWAS results or by relations to known gene functions or pathways. The studies are given in approximate chronological order. The list does not include Davide Piffer's studies, since these are spread out in many preprints and are not so organized. It is easier to find them via
