Selection effects on a linked neutral locus.

The Journal of heredity - 1 Jan 2000

Kauffmann K, Lee A J

Abstract excerpt

Selection changes the frequency of alleles at a linked locus as well as at those under selection if the population is not in linkage equilibrium. The magnitude of this frequency change depends on the tightness of the linkage, the selection intensity, and the deviation from linkage equilibrium. Allowing a population to mate randomly without selection brings the population closer to linkage equilibrium. This...
