Natural selection and recombination interact to structure genome-wide variation in pines.

Abstract excerpt

Genetic differentiation among populations often varies significantly across the genome due to factors such as selection and recombination, resulting in a heterogeneous genomic landscape. However, variation in low-differentiation regions-genomic valleys-remains poorly understood. Moreover, most insights into plant genomic landscapes come from flowering plants, while comparable genome-wide studies in other taxa,...
