Summary

Sequences before and after five processes: (a) an incomplete, then complete hard sweep; (b) a soft sweep from standing variation; (c) a soft sweep from recurrent mutation; (d) polygenic adaptation with partial sweeps; (e) background selection. Blue circles are neutral alleles, red, yellow and orange circles advantageous alleles and red squares deleterious alleles.
