SummaryNatural selection leaves signatures in genetic diversity. A challenge in detecting these signatures is that demographic history can shape genetic variation in ways similar to selection, making their effects difficult to disentangle. STUSC takes a simulation based approach to the problem. It performs five widely used tests for natural selection, Tajimas D, Fu and Lis F and F*, and Fu and Lis D and D*, which ordinarily require the assumption of constant population size, under any size history. It also provides methods for generating their statistical distributions, allowing their responses to demography to be studied and past results to be evaluated.

"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.
