Sequence variation: looking for effects of genetic linkage.

Current biology : CB - 10 Sept 1998

Charlesworth D, Charlesworth B

Abstract excerpt

Selection at linked loci probably reduces the variability of genes in regions of infrequent recombination. Detailed sequence information is needed to test possible causes of this effect; such information is now becoming available, but its interpretation can be difficult.
