Determining the Effect of Natural Selection on Linked Neutral Divergence across Species.

PLoS genetics - 1 Aug 2016

Phung Tanya N, Huber Christian D, Lohmueller Kirk E

Abstract excerpt

A major goal in evolutionary biology is to understand how natural selection has shaped patterns of genetic variation across genomes. Studies in a variety of species have shown that neutral genetic diversity (intra-species differences) has been reduced at sites linked to those under direct selection. However, the effect of linked selection on neutral sequence divergence (inter-species differences) remains...
