Genealogies and weak purifying selection.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Feb 1999

Przeworski M, Charlesworth B, Wall J D

Abstract excerpt

The assumption that selection alters the genealogical tree of a sample of alleles from a population relative to the neutral expectation underlies several "tests of neutrality." Two recent papers have studied the effect of purifying selection; their suggestive but incomplete results indicate that, in the single site case, the shape of a gene genealogy for a locus may differ only from the neutral expectation. We...
