On the relative roles of background selection and genetic hitchhiking in shaping human cytomegalovirus genetic diversity.

Molecular ecology - 1 Jan 2016

Renzette Nicholas, Kowalik Timothy F, Jensen Jeffrey D

Abstract excerpt

A central focus of population genetics has been examining the contribution of selective and neutral processes in shaping patterns of intraspecies diversity. In terms of selection specifically, surveys of higher organisms have shown considerable variation in the relative contributions of backgroun...
