Balancing Selection Detection

Balancing Selection Detection is a computational or statistical method designed to identify genomic regions under balancing selection by distinguishing them from neutral evolutionary patterns or other forms of selection through specific genetic signatures such as elevated polymorphism, intermediate allele frequencies, or trans-species polymorphisms.
