Genomic Data for Selective Sweep Detection with Outgroup Comparison

Delivering genomic data for testing methods to detect recent selective sweeps while controlling for mutation rate variation and background selection. It was created by Christian D. Huber and published in 2020.

Use Cases

• Test the SweepFinder composite likelihood ratio test on genomic data for detecting selective sweeps.
• Analyze the spatial pattern of the site frequency spectrum (SFS) around candidate selected loci.
• Evaluate the inclusion of fixed differences relative to an outgroup to account for mutation rate variation.
• Model background selection as a local reduction in effective population size within genomic scans.
• Compare the power and precision of sweep localization between methods using only variable sites and those including invariable sites.

Strengths

• Data is associated with a peer-reviewed methodological publication on selective sweep detection.
• The dataset is licensed under CC0-1.0, allowing for unrestricted reuse.

Limitations

• The specific data format, size, and structure (e.g., rows, columns) are not described in the input.
• The genomic source species or specific chromosomal regions covered are not specified.
