Reduced efficacy of natural selection on codon usage bias in selfing Arabidopsis and Capsella species.

Genome biology and evolution - 1 Jan 2011

Qiu Suo, Zeng Kai, Slotte Tanja, Wright Stephen, Charlesworth Deborah

Abstract excerpt

Population genetic theory predicts that the efficacy of natural selection in a self-fertilizing species should be lower than its outcrossing relatives because of the reduction in the effective population size (N(e)) in the former brought about by inbreeding. However, previous analyses comparing Arabidopsis thaliana (selfer) with A. lyrata (outcrosser) have not found conclusive support for this prediction. In this...
