Neutral genetic diversity during selective sweeps in nonrecombining populations.

Abstract excerpt

Selective sweeps, resulting from the spread of beneficial, neutral, or deleterious mutations through a population, shape patterns of genetic variation at linked neutral sites. While many theoretical, computational, and statistical advances have been made in understanding the genomic signatures of selective sweeps in recombining populations, relatively less is understood in populations with little/no...
