A Model-Based Approach for Identifying Signatures of Ancient Balancing Selection in Genetic Data

English version České info

In the past, balancing selection was a topic of great theoretical interest that received much attention. However, there has been little focus toward developing methods to identify regions of the genome that are under balancing selection. In this article, we present the first set of likelihood-based methods that explicitly model the spatial distribution of polymorphism expected near a site under long-term balancing selection. Simulation results show that our methods outperform commonly-used summary statistics for identifying regions under balancing selection. Finally, we performed a scan for balancing selection in Africans and Europeans using our new methods and identified a gene called FANK1 as our top candidate outside the HLA region. We hypothesize that the maintenance of polymorphism at FANK1 is the result of segregation distortion.
