Why we are not dead one hundred times over.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Nov 2013

Charlesworth Brian

Abstract excerpt

The possibility of pervasive weak selection at tens or hundreds of millions of sites across the genome, suggested by recent studies of silent site DNA sequence variation and divergence, raises the problem of the survival of the population in the face of the large genetic load that may result. Two...
