Genetic draft and quasi-neutrality in large facultatively sexual populations.

Genetics - 1 Aug 2011

Neher R A, Shraiman B I

Abstract excerpt

Large populations may contain numerous simultaneously segregating polymorphisms subject to natural selection. Since selection acts on individuals whose fitness depends on many loci, different loci affect each other's dynamics. This leads to stochastic fluctuations of allele frequencies above and beyond genetic drift-an effect known as genetic draft. Since recombination disrupts associations between alleles, draft...
