Balancing selection maintains intraspecific diversity in a deep-sea fish.

Abstract excerpt

Segregating alleles in natural populations can be driven to fixation or loss by genetic drift or directional selection, or may be maintained in a polymorphic state by balancing selection. Balancing selection in a panmictic population is theoretically well established, but not widely understood at the molecular level. In this study, we focus on the evolutionary processes affecting non-synonymous variants at eight...
