On the effects of background selection in small populations on comparisons of molecular variation.

Abstract excerpt

Deleterious mutations affect genetic variation at linked neutral loci. Neutral variation can be reduced due to background selection, but in small population and with tight linkage such variation may increase due to associative overdominance. Here I report the results of computer simulations of diploid genotypes in small populations, where I look at the effect of deleterious mutations and linkage on comparisons of...
