In genetics, when multiple copies of a beneficial mutation become established and fix together it is called soft sweep. Depending on the origin of these copies, linked variants might then be retained and emerge as haplotype structures in the population. There are two major forms of soft sweeps: 2) Another model happening when multiple beneficial mutations independently occur in short succession of one another — consequently, a second copy occur through mutation before the selective fixation of the first copy.

dbo:abstract
  • In genetics, when multiple copies of a beneficial mutation become established and fix together it is called soft sweep. Depending on the origin of these copies, linked variants might then be retained and emerge as haplotype structures in the population. There are two major forms of soft sweeps: 1) A beneficial mutation previously separated in the population neutrally and therefore existed as multiple haplotypes at the time of the selective shift in which the mutation became beneficial. In this way, a single beneficial mutation may carry multiple haplotypes to an intermediate frequency, while itself becomes fixed. 2) Another model happening when multiple beneficial mutations independently occur in short succession of one another — consequently, a second copy occur through mutation before the selective fixation of the first copy. Soft sweeps can occur from both standing variation and rapidly repeating beneficial mutations. (en)
