Detecting a local signature of genetic hitchhiking along a recombining chromosome.

Genetics - 1 Feb 2002

Kim Yuseob, Stephan Wolfgang

Abstract excerpt

The theory of genetic hitchhiking predicts that the level of genetic variation is greatly reduced at the site of strong directional selection and increases as the recombinational distance from the site of selection increases. This characteristic pattern can be used to detect recent directional selection on the basis of DNA polymorphism data. However, the large variance of nucleotide diversity in samples of...
