Genetic Diversity and the Efficacy of Purifying Selection across Plant and Animal Species.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Jun 2017

Chen Jun, Glémin Sylvain, Lascoux Martin

Abstract excerpt

A central question in evolutionary biology is why some species have more genetic diversity than others and a no less important question is why selection efficacy varies among species. Although these questions have started to be tackled in animals, they have not been addressed to the same extent in plants. Here, we estimated nucleotide diversity at synonymous, πS, and nonsynonymous sites, πN, and a measure of the...
