Natural selection shapes nucleotide polymorphism across the genome of the nematode Caenorhabditis briggsae.

Abstract excerpt

The combined actions of natural selection, mutation, and recombination forge the landscape of genetic variation across genomes. One frequently observed manifestation of these processes is a positive association between neutral genetic variation and local recombination rates. Two selective mechanisms and/or recombination-associated mutation (RAM) could generate this pattern, and the relative importance of these...
