Natural selection at linked sites in humans.

Gene - 30 Oct 2002

Payseur Bret A, Nachman Michael W

Abstract excerpt

Theoretical and empirical work indicates that patterns of neutral polymorphism can be affected by linked, selected mutations. Under background selection, deleterious mutations removed from a population by purifying selection cause a reduction in linked neutral diversity. Under genetic hitchhiking...
