Abstract excerpt
The association between recombination rate and diversity, but not divergence is considered to be driven mainly by natural selection: fixation of positively selected variants and associated hitchhiking effects and/or background selection eliminating deleterious alleles. In the present study, we investigated the relationship between recombination rate, SNP diversity and interspecies divergence for 29 loci in...
