Soft Selective Sweeps

Soft Selective Sweeps is a population genetic phenomenon in which multiple copies of a beneficial allele, either pre-existing as standing variation or arising independently through recurrent mutation, increase in frequency simultaneously under positive selection, thereby distinguishing it from hard selective sweeps that originate from a single mutational origin.
