Genomic regions linked to soft sweeps approximate neutrality when inferring population history from site pattern frequencies

Show abstract
Recent studies have suggested that selection is widespread throughout the genome and largely uncompensated for in inferences of population history. To address this potential issue, we estimated site pattern frequencies for neutral and selection associated areas of the genome. There are notable differences in these frequencies between neutral regions and those affected by selection. However, these differences have relatively small effects when inferring population history.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
