Joint effects of genetic hitchhiking and background selection on neutral variation.
Genetics - 1 Jul 2000
Kim Y, Stephan W
Abstract excerpt
Due to relatively high rates of strongly selected deleterious mutations, directional selection on favorable alleles (causing hitchhiking effects on linked neutral polymorphisms) is expected to occur while a deleterious mutation-selection balance is present in a population. We analyze this interaction of directional selection and background selection and study their combined effects on neutral variation, using a...
