Selective sweep

In genetics, a selective sweep is the process through which a new beneficial mutation that increases its frequency and becomes fixed (i.e., reaches a frequency of 1) in a population leads to the reduction or elimination of genetic variation among nucleotide sequences that are near the mutation site. In selective sweeps, positive selection causes the new…
