Detecting adaptive trait loci via selective sweeps

Objective

I will develop new tests of selective neutrality for large-scale surveys of DNA sequence variation. I will collect data at a sample of randomly taken loci in Drosophila. I will develop methods allowing for non- independent tests between multiple linked loci.
