How old is the most recent ancestor of two copies of an allele?

Genetics - 1 Feb 2005

Patterson Nick J

Abstract excerpt

An important clue to the evolutionary history of an allele is the structure of the neighboring region of the genome, which we term the genomic background of the allele. Consider two copies of the allele. How similar we expect their genomic background to be is strongly influenced by the age of the...
