Abstract

SUMMARY: Several popular haplotype-based statistics for identifying recent or ongoing positive selection in genomes require knowledge of haplotype phase. Here, we provide an update to selscan which implements a re-definition of these statistics for use in unphased data. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: Source code and binaries are freely available at https://github.com/szpiech/selscan, implemented in C/C++, and supported on Linux, Windows, and MacOS.
