The hitchhiking effect of a strongly selected substitution in male germline on neutral polymorphism in a monogamy population.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2013

Li Junrui, Schneider Kristan A, Li Haipeng

Abstract excerpt

Comparative genomic studies suggest that a huge number of genes that show the strongest evidence for positive selection in human are testis- or sperm-specific genes, which are possibly due to germline selection. We propose a novel selection model in which the germlines of heterozygous males in a monogamous population are under natural selection. Under this model, we study the dynamics of a strongly selected...
