Regions of lower crossing over harbor more rare variants in African populations of Drosophila melanogaster.

Genetics - 1 Jun 2001

Andolfatto P, Przeworski M

Abstract excerpt

A correlation between diversity levels and rates of recombination is predicted both by models of positive selection, such as hitchhiking associated with the rapid fixation of advantageous mutations, and by models of purifying selection against strongly deleterious mutations (commonly referred to as "background selection"). With parameter values appropriate for Drosophila populations, only the first class of...
