Data from: The effect of autopolyploidy on population genetic signals of hard sweeps

Searching for population genomic signals left behind by positive selection
is a major focus of evolutionary biology, particularly as sequencing
technologies develop and costs decline. The effect of the number of
chromosome copies (i.e. ploidy) on the manifestation of these signals
remains an outstanding question, despite a wide appreciation of ploidy
being a fundamental parameter governing numerous biological processes. We
clarify the principal forces governing the differential manifestation and
persistence of the signal of selection by separating the effects of
polyploidy on rates of fixation versus rates of diversity (i.e. mutation
and recombination) with a set of coalescent simulations.  We
explore what the major consequences of polyploidy, such as a more
localized signal, greater dependence on dominance, and longer persistence
of the signal following fixation, mean for within- and across-ploidy
inference on the strength and prevalence of selective sweeps. As genomic
advances continue to open doors for interrogating natural systems, studies
such as this aid our ability to anticipate, interpret, and compare data
across ploidy levels.
