Abstract excerpt
We investigated DNA sequence diversity for loci on chromosomes 1 and 2 in six natural populations of Arabidopsis lyrata and tested for the role of natural selection in structuring genomewide patterns of variability, specifically examining the effects of recombination rate on levels of silent polymorphism. In contrast with theoretical predictions from models of genetic hitchhiking, maximum-likelihood-based...
