Selective Sweep Detection

Positive selection creates a hitchhiking valley — reduced diversity and extended haplotype homozygosity (EHH)

Parameters

Sweep width: kb
Min diversity:
Max EHH:
iHS score:
EHH (Extended Haplotype Homozygosity) measures how far identical haplotypes extend around the selected site. High EHH = long-range LD from rapid hitchhiking.
