text: In this issue of GENETICS, a new method for detecting natural selection on
polygenic traits is developed and applied to sev- eral human examples ( Racimo
et al. 2018 ). By de fi nition, many loci contribute to variation in polygenic
traits, and a challenge for evolutionary ge neticists has been that these traits
can evolve by small, nearly undetectable shifts in allele frequencies across each
of many, typically unknown, loci. Recently, a helpful remedy has arisen. Genome-wide
associ- ation studies (GWAS) have been illuminating sets of loci that can be interrogated
jointly for c hanges in allele frequencies. By aggregating small signal s of change
across many such loci, directional natural selection is now in principle detect-
able using genetic data, even for highly polygenic traits. This is an exciting
arena of progress – with these methods, tests can be made for selection associated
with traits, and we can now study selection in what may be its most prevalent
mode. The continuing fast pace of GWAS publications suggest there will be many
more polygenic tests of selection in the near future, as every new GWAS is an
opportunity for an accom- panying test of polygenic selection. However, it is
important to be aware of complications th at arise in interpretation, especially
given that these studies may easily be misinter- preted both in and outside the
evolutionary genetics commu- nity. Here, we provide context for understanding
polygenic tests and urge caution regarding how these results are inter- preted
and reported upon more broadly.

text: We study the Fokker-Planck equation derived in the large system limit of the
Markovian process describing the dynamics of quantitative traits. The Fokker-Planck
equation is posed on a bounded domain and its transport and diffusion coefficients
vanish on the domain's boundary. We first argue that, despite this degeneracy,
the standard no-flux boundary condition is valid. We derive the weak formulation
of the problem and prove the existence and uniqueness of its solutions by constructing
the corresponding contraction semigroup on a suitable function space. Then, we
prove that for the parameter regime with high enough mutation rate the problem
exhibits a positive spectral gap, which implies exponential convergence to equilibrium.Next,
we provide a simple derivation of the so-called Dynamic Maximum Entropy (DynMaxEnt)
method for approximation of observables (moments) of the Fokker-Planck solution,
which can be interpreted as a nonlinear Galerkin approximation. The limited applicability
of the DynMaxEnt method inspires us to introduce its modified version that is
valid for the whole range of admissible parameters. Finally, we present several
numerical experiments to demonstrate the performance of both the original and
modified DynMaxEnt methods. We observe that in the parameter regimes where both
methods are valid, the modified one exhibits slightly better approximation properties
compared to the original one.

text: This thesis is concerned with the inference of current population structure
based on geo-referenced genetic data. The underlying idea is that population structure
affects its spatial genetic structure. Therefore, genotype information can be
utilized to estimate important demographic parameters such as migration rates.
These indirect estimates of population structure have become very attractive,
as genotype data is now widely available. However, there also has been much concern
about these approaches. Importantly, genetic structure can be influenced by many
complex patterns, which often cannot be disentangled. Moreover, many methods merely
fit heuristic patterns of genetic structure, and do not build upon population
genetics theory. Here, I describe two novel inference methods that address these
shortcomings. In Chapter 2, I introduce an inference scheme based on a new type
of signal, identity by descent (IBD) blocks. Recently, it has become feasible
to detect such long blocks of genome shared between pairs of samples. These blocks
are direct traces of recent coalescence events. As such, they contain ample signal
for inferring recent demography. I examine sharing of IBD blocks in two-dimensional
populations with local migration. Using a diffusion approximation, I derive formulas
for an isolation by distance pattern of long IBD blocks and show that sharing
of long IBD blocks approaches rapid exponential decay for growing sample distance.
I describe an inference scheme based on these results. It can robustly estimate
the dispersal rate and population density, which is demonstrated on simulated
data. I also show an application to estimate mean migration and the rate of recent
population growth within Eastern Europe. Chapter 3 is about a novel method to
estimate barriers to gene flow in a two dimensional population. This inference
scheme utilizes geographically localized allele frequency fluctuations - a classical
isolation by distance signal. The strength of these local fluctuations increases
on average next to a barrier, and there is less correlation across it. I again
use a framework of diffusion of ancestral lineages to model this effect, and provide
an efficient numerical implementation to fit the results to geo-referenced biallelic
SNP data. This inference scheme is able to robustly estimate strong barriers to
gene flow, as tests on simulated data confirm.

text: 'Genome-scale diversity data are increasingly available in a variety of biological
systems, and can be used to reconstruct the past evolutionary history of species
divergence. However, extracting the full demographic information from these data
is not trivial, and requires inferential methods that account for the diversity
of coalescent histories throughout the genome. Here, we evaluate the potential
and limitations of one such approach. We reexamine a well-known system of mussel
sister species, using the joint site frequency spectrum (jSFS) of synonymousmutations
computed either fromexome capture or RNA-seq, in an Approximate Bayesian Computation
(ABC) framework. We first assess the best sampling strategy (number of: individuals,
loci, and bins in the jSFS), and show that model selection is robust to variation
in the number of individuals and loci. In contrast, different binning choices
when summarizing the jSFS, strongly affect the results: including classes of low
and high frequency shared polymorphisms can more effectively reveal recent migration
events. We then take advantage of the flexibility of ABC to compare more realistic
models of speciation, including variation in migration rates through time (i.e.,
periodic connectivity) and across genes (i.e., genome-wide heterogeneity in migration
rates). We show that these models were consistently selected as the most probable,
suggesting that mussels have experienced a complex history of gene flow during
divergence and that the species boundary is semi-permeable. Our work provides
a comprehensive evaluation of ABC demographic inference in mussels based on the
coding jSFS, and supplies guidelines for employing different sequencing techniques
and sampling strategies. We emphasize, perhaps surprisingly, that inferences are
less limited by the volume of data, than by the way in which they are analyzed.'

text: Secondary contact is the reestablishment of gene flow between sister populations
that have diverged. For instance, at the end of the Quaternary glaciations in
Europe, secondary contact occurred during the northward expansion of the populations
which had found refugia in the southern peninsulas. With the advent of multi-locus
markers, secondary contact can be investigated using various molecular signatures
including gradients of allele frequency, admixture clines, and local increase
of genetic differentiation. We use coalescent simulations to investigate if molecular
data provide enough information to distinguish between secondary contact following
range expansion and an alternative evolutionary scenario consisting of a barrier
to gene flow in an isolation-by-distance model. We find that an excess of linkage
disequilibrium and of genetic diversity at the suture zone is a unique signature
of secondary contact. We also find that the directionality index ψ, which was
proposed to study range expansion, is informative to distinguish between the two
hypotheses. However, although evidence for secondary contact is usually conveyed
by statistics related to admixture coefficients, we find that they can be confounded
by isolation-by-distance. We recommend to account for the spatial repartition
of individuals when investigating secondary contact in order to better reflect
the complex spatio-temporal evolution of populations and species.

text: 'Pedigree and sibship reconstruction are important methods in quantifying
relationships and fitness of individuals in natural populations. Current methods
employ a Markov chain-based algorithm to explore plausible possible pedigrees
iteratively. This provides accurate results, but is time-consuming. Here, we develop
a method to infer sibship and paternity relationships from half-sibling arrays
of known maternity using hierarchical clustering. Given 50 or more unlinked SNP
markers and empirically derived error rates, the method performs as well as the
widely used package Colony, but is faster by two orders of magnitude. Using simulations,
we show that the method performs well across contrasting mating scenarios, even
when samples are large. We then apply the method to open-pollinated arrays of
the snapdragon Antirrhinum majus and find evidence for a high degree of multiple
mating. Although we focus on diploid SNP data, the method does not depend on marker
type and as such has broad applications in nonmodel systems. '

text: There has been renewed interest in modelling the behaviour of evolutionary
algorithms by more traditional mathematical objects, such as ordinary differential
equations or Markov chains. The advantage is that the analysis becomes greatly
facilitated due to the existence of well established methods. However, this typically
comes at the cost of disregarding information about the process. Here, we introduce
the use of stochastic differential equations (SDEs) for the study of EAs. SDEs
can produce simple analytical results for the dynamics of stochastic processes,
unlike Markov chains which can produce rigorous but unwieldy expressions about
the dynamics. On the other hand, unlike ordinary differential equations (ODEs),
they do not discard information about the stochasticity of the process. We show
that these are especially suitable for the analysis of fixed budget scenarios
and present analogs of the additive and multiplicative drift theorems for SDEs.
We exemplify the use of these methods for two model algorithms ((1+1) EA and RLS)
on two canonical problems(OneMax and LeadingOnes).

text: Variation in genotypes may be responsible for differences in dispersal rates,
directional biases, and growth rates of individuals. These traits may favor certain
genotypes and enhance their spatiotemporal spreading into areas occupied by the
less advantageous genotypes. We study how these factors influence the speed of
spreading in the case of two competing genotypes under the assumption that spatial
variation of the total population is small compared to the spatial variation of
the frequencies of the genotypes in the population. In that case, the dynamics
of the frequency of one of the genotypes is approximately described by a generalized
Fisher–Kolmogorov–Petrovskii–Piskunov (F–KPP) equation. This generalized F–KPP
equation with (nonlinear) frequency-dependent diffusion and advection terms admits
traveling wave solutions that characterize the invasion of the dominant genotype.
Our existence results generalize the classical theory for traveling waves for
the F–KPP with constant coefficients. Moreover, in the particular case of the
quadratic (monostable) nonlinear growth–decay rate in the generalized F–KPP we
study in detail the influence of the variance in diffusion and mean displacement
rates of the two genotypes on the minimal wave propagation speed.

text: 'Most phenotypes are determined by molecular systems composed of specifically
interacting molecules. However, unlike for individual components, little is known
about the distributions of mutational effects of molecular systems as a whole.
We ask how the distribution of mutational effects of a transcriptional regulatory
system differs from the distributions of its components, by first independently,
and then simultaneously, mutating a transcription factor and the associated promoter
it represses. We find that the system distribution exhibits increased phenotypic
variation compared to individual component distributions - an effect arising from
intermolecular epistasis between the transcription factor and its DNA-binding
site. In large part, this epistasis can be qualitatively attributed to the structure
of the transcriptional regulatory system and could therefore be a common feature
in prokaryotes. Counter-intuitively, intermolecular epistasis can alleviate the
constraints of individual components, thereby increasing phenotypic variation
that selection could act on and facilitating adaptive evolution. '

text: Small RNAs (sRNAs) regulate genes in plants and animals. Here, we show that
population-wide differences in color patterns in snapdragon flowers are caused
by an inverted duplication that generates sRNAs. The complexity and size of the
transcripts indicate that the duplication represents an intermediate on the pathway
to microRNA evolution. The sRNAs repress a pigment biosynthesis gene, creating
a yellow highlight at the site of pollinator entry. The inverted duplication exhibits
steep clines in allele frequency in a natural hybrid zone, showing that the allele
is under selection. Thus, regulatory interactions of evolutionarily recent sRNAs
can be acted upon by selection and contribute to the evolution of phenotypic diversity.
