a power point side titled: "Data example of hard and soft sweeps
in the evolution of drug resistance in HIV"
In the top right is a set of viral sequences before and after adaptation via a hard sweep (a single drug resistance mutation has swept away diversity)
In the bottom right a population of HIV sequences has adapted via two drug resistance mutations (at the same base) that each sit on their own haplotype

This paper by Kadie-Ann Williams and @pleunipennings.bsky.social is a really useful resource for teaching sweeps and linked selection

However, the number of studies foc...

Most ancient and modern genomes are known from a large but limited number of single nucleotide polymorphisms, each identified in a small set of genomes. New study shows how this ascertainment bias affects inferences of ancient mixture.
