Robustness of the inference of the distribution of fitness effects to selective sweeps
The distribution of fitness effects (DFE) describes the proportion of new mutations with certain selective strengths. It is a crucial quantity for the study of complex disease and evolutionary genetics. Population genetics approaches infer the DFE using the site frequency spectrum (SFS), which summarizes allele frequencies within a sample. These approaches first fit a demographic model to an SFS…
