Mitochondrial DNA Sequence Diversity in Mammals: A Correlation between the Effective and Census Population Sizes.

Genome biology and evolution - 6 Dec 2020

James Jennifer, Eyre-Walker Adam

Abstract excerpt

What determines the level of genetic diversity of a species remains one of the enduring problems of population genetics. Because neutral diversity depends upon the product of the effective population size and mutation rate, there is an expectation that diversity should be correlated to measures of census population size. This correlation is often observed for nuclear but not for mitochondrial DNA. Here, we...
