TL;DR:
This study produced an H. virescens genome assembly and used this in concert with a ddRAD-seq enabled genome scan to identify loci with significant allele frequency changes over the 15 year period, and quantified the selection strength required to elicit observed allele frequencyChanges at each locus.
