Determinants of genetic diversity.

Nature reviews. Genetics - 1 Jul 2016

Ellegren Hans, Galtier Nicolas

Abstract excerpt

Genetic polymorphism varies among species and within genomes, and has important implications for the evolution and conservation of species. The determinants of this variation have been poorly understood, but population genomic data from a wide range of organisms now make it possible to delineate the underlying evolutionary processes, notably how variation in the effective population size (Ne) governs genetic...
