Identifying selected regions from heterozygosity and divergence using a light-coverage genomic dataset from two human populations.

When a selective sweep occurs in the chromosomal region around a target gene in two populations that have recently separated, it produces three dramatic genomic consequences: 1) decreased multi-locus heterozygosity in the region; 2) elevated or diminished genetic divergence (F(ST)) of multiple polym...
