Zusammenfassung

The detection of genomic regions that have been targeted by positive Darwinian selection is an important objective in population genetics. However, this task is very challenging, in particular for populations that are not in equilibrium. The main focus of this project is on the development of theoretical methods for quantifying the genomic signature of strongly positive directional selection in populations that have undergone complex demographic histories, such as population size expansions and bottlenecks. Analytical results will be derived using diffusion theory. To improve current e...
