In genetics, a selective sweep is the process through which a new beneficial mutation that increases its frequency and becomes fixed (i.e., reaches a...

Additionally, the effects of density-dependent processes, epistasis, and soft selective sweeps on the maximum rate of substitution have been examined. By looking...

genetic variation, a "soft sweep", the rationale does not apply, because the allele is no longer rare in the beginning of the sweep. In fact, recessive...

represents an alternative to adaptation by selective sweeps. In classic selective sweep models, a single new mutation sweeps through a population to fixation,...
