Abstract excerpt
Many forces influence genetic variation across the genome including mutation, recombination, selection, and demography. Increased mutation and recombination both lead to increases in genetic diversity in a region-specific manner, while complex demographic patterns shape patterns of diversity on a more global scale. While these processes act across the entire genome, the X chromosome is particularly interesting...
