Detecting Selective Sweeps in the Genomic Era: From Classical Statistics to Deep Learning
Sanchit Pal Singh, Shruti Gupta & Varinder Singh Raina · Journal of Advances in Biology & Biotechnology · 2026
Selective sweeps are genomic signatures that arises when a beneficial allele rapidly increases in frequency in the population and reduces diversity in the surrounding chromosomal region. Since the hitchhiking effect was formalised by Smith and Haigh in 1974, methods for detecting...
