Analysis of a genetic hitchhiking model, and its application to DNA polymorphism data from Drosophila melanogaster.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Jul 1993

Wiehe T H, Stephan W

Abstract excerpt

Begun and Aquadro have demonstrated that levels of nucleotide variation correlate with recombination rate among 20 gene regions from across the genome of Drosophila melanogaster. It has been suggested that this correlation results from genetic hitchhiking associated with the fixation of strongly...
