Hard Selective Sweeps

Hard Selective Sweeps is a population genetic process in which a single beneficial mutation rapidly increases in frequency and reaches fixation due to strong positive selection, thereby reducing genetic variation at linked loci and distinguishing itself from softer sweeps involving multiple pre-existing or recurrent beneficial alleles.
