Impact of mutation rate and selection at linked sites on fine-scale DNA variation across the homininae genome

2018-10-25

Abstract excerpt

DNA diversity varies across the genome of many species. Variation in diversity across a genome might arise for one of three reasons; regional variation in the mutation rate, selection and biased gene conversion. We show that both non-coding and non-synonymous diversity are correlated to a measure of the mutation rate, the recombination rate and the density of conserved sequences in 50KB windows across the genomes...
