Hitchhiking and associative overdominance at a microsatellite locus.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 May 1995

Slatkin M

Abstract excerpt

The possible effects of a selected locus on a closely linked microsatellite locus are discussed and analyzed in terms of coalescent theory and models of the mutation process. Background selection caused by recurrent deleterious mutations will reduce the variance of allele size at a microsatellite locus. The occasional substitution of advantageous alleles (genetic hitchhiking) will also reduce the variance, but a...
