Promising protocols for parasites: Metatranscriptomics improves detection of hyperdiverse but low abundance communities.

abstract：:Inferring the mode and tempo of natural selection helps further our understanding of adaptation to past environmental changes. Here, we introduce McSwan, a method to detect and date past and recent natural selection events in the case of a hard sweep. The method is based on the comparison of site frequency spectra obt...
