Background Selection From Unlinked Sites Causes Nonindependent Evolution of Deleterious Mutations.

Genome biology and evolution - 2 Mar 2024

Matheson Joseph, Masel Joanna

Abstract excerpt

Background selection describes the reduction in neutral diversity caused by selection against deleterious alleles at other loci. It is typically assumed that the purging of deleterious alleles affects linked neutral variants, and indeed simulations typically only treat a genomic window. However, background selection at unlinked loci also depresses neutral diversity. In agreement with previous analytical...
