To characterize natural selection, various analytical methods for detecting candidate genomic regions have been developed. We propose to perform genome-wide scans of natural selection using principal

We sampled nineteen populations across the range of Protea repens and used genotyping by sequencing (GBS) to identify 2066 polymorphic loci in 663 individuals. We used a Bayesian FST-outlier analysis
Observed (Obs) FST with selection significance (highlighted P value<0.01) for the three continents (Africa, Asia and Europe), and for Europe and North Africa. Global cross-continental FST scores and T
