Junk ain't what junk does: neutral alleles in a selected context.

Abstract excerpt

A simulation study of the effects of linked selection on a neutral locus is described. Of six models of selection examined, four could be called variation-reducing as they lower the level of molecular variation at the neutral locus. Unfortunately, all four distort the neutral frequency spectrum in similar ways, making the problem of inferring the appropriate model quite difficult. Similarly, an examination of the...
