Background selection in single genes may explain patterns of codon bias.

Genetics - 1 Mar 2007

Loewe Laurence, Charlesworth Brian

Abstract excerpt

Background selection involves the reduction in effective population size caused by the removal of recurrent deleterious mutations from a population. Previous work has examined this process for large genomic regions. Here we focus on the level of a single gene or small group of genes and investigate how the effects of background selection caused by nonsynonymous mutations are influenced by the lengths of coding...
