The Role of Phylogenetically Conserved Elements in Shaping Patterns of Human Genomic Diversity.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Sept 2018

Woerner August E, Veeramah Krishna R, Watkins Joseph C, Hammer Michael F

Abstract excerpt

Evolutionary genetic studies have shown a positive correlation between levels of nucleotide diversity and either rates of recombination or genetic distance to genes. Both positive-directional and purifying selection have been offered as the source of these correlations via genetic hitchhiking and background selection, respectively. Phylogenetically conserved elements (CEs) are short (∼100 bp), widely distributed...
