How reliable are empirical genomic scans for selective sweeps?

QT:{{”
One implication of these results is that, insofar as attributes of the beneficial mutation (e.g., the dominance coefficient) affect the power to detect targets of selection, genomic scans will yield an
unrepresentative subset of loci that contribute to adaptations. “}}
