The effect of recombination on background selection.

Genetical research - 1 Apr 1996

Nordborg M, Charlesworth B, Charlesworth D

Abstract excerpt

An approximate equation is derived, which predicts the effect on variability at a neutral locus of background selection due to a set of partly linked deleterious mutations. Random mating, multiplicative fitnesses, and sufficiently large population size that the selected loci are in mutation/selection equilibrium are assumed. Given these assumptions, the equation is valid for an arbitrary genetic map, and for an...
