DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Jonathan Pritchard\nhosted by Nick Barton\nAbstract: O
 ne long-standing goal in population and evolutionary genetics has been to 
 understand the genetic basis of evolutionary change. Despite the success o
 f quantitative genetics in plant and animal breeding\, the traditional emp
 hasis in experimental population genetics has been on detecting events of 
 relatively strong selection at individual loci - i.e.\, selective sweeps. 
  In this talk\, I will describe work that we are doing to bridge between t
 hese traditions: understanding the extremely polygenic basis of many compl
 ex traits\, and developing methods to detect past selection on polygenic t
 raits. Emphasis will be given to a pair of recent papers from our group: F
 ield et al (2016) and Boyle et al (2017).
