Background Selection in Partially Selfing Populations.

Genetics - 1 Jun 2016

Roze Denis

Abstract excerpt

Self-fertilizing species often present lower levels of neutral polymorphism than their outcrossing relatives. Indeed, selfing automatically increases the rate of coalescence per generation, but also enhances the effects of background selection and genetic hitchhiking by reducing the efficiency of recombination. Approximations for the effect of background selection in partially selfing populations have been...
